In the days of Zoom poetry
While things have changed so much from what we would call “normal” due to the horrible Corvid 19 virus, many things that are familiar and so integral our lives have not. Poetry whether it is read from books or listened to from recordings or shared in workshops is familiar and comforting to those who are sheltering in their homes. We can find inspiration, solace, entertainment and companionship in our mutual love and sharing of our art form. Several groups, CPS chapters and websites have gotten together using e-meeting software such as Zoom, Google Meet or other form of live or recorded video. It is surprising how well it works and the right technology available for free at the perfect time. For some, anything computer related is beyond the realm of possibility, but it is no more difficult than many of the tasks people do now that we thought out of our learning ability and have since become second nature to us. Visual actions and body language and expressions contain so much more communication then just audio or the words written page. If you or your group of favorite poets have not already tried it, I strongly recommend it, people by nature are social and in its way, this helps fulfil some of that need. |
