When I started Poetry Boot Camp four years ago, I didn’t realize what a community it would become for me, as well as for participants. When people began to join us from out-of-the-way places like Nicosia, Cyprus and Dede, Guam I was thrilled, and looked them up in my atlas, trying to imagine their landscapes and figure out the time difference between us. Now we have a Boot Camper who is writing her poems at the South Pole! This seems a fitting time to provide a forum so we can hear more about where people are and what they’re doing, and I’m going to start things off with this blog (dreadful word!) from three of us: Lynette Harper at the South Pole, Lisa Suhair Majaj from Nicosia, Cyprus, and me in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada. I’d love to have you check in and post your comments!
