PoetryBootCamp




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!

Memorizing Poems

Anybody have any good tips on how you memorize poetry? I have my own style of doing it, but am pretty rusty. I’m going to need to memorize about an hour and a half of stuff for a presentation I’m doing in April with Utah Phillips. His requirement for sharing the stage with me is that I not bring one piece of paper (and I’m not allowed to write on my arm, either). This is a horrible thing for a procrastinator to contemplate, so I’m trying to get a jump on it all.

Thank you in advance!

P.S. He memorizes, in order, every sentence and song and joke and bad pun for each and every gig. I don’t think I’m going to adopt this as a lifestyle, but I want to try it (because I badly want to share the stage with him!).
