Poetry and Embodiment
Keats said
“touch has a memory”,
and
Touch is something I notice is not available to a lot of us right now..
And maybe poetry can ‘act ‘
As way in to this
Present moment
that touch sometimes can do..
We will explore together
how poetry can
Open our field of
awareness.
‘My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.’
Rumi
