Then during camp\, give yourself that same permission\, but burn it in your notebook and release it later in print! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Summer Poetry CampDuring July 4th weekend the annual summary poetry retreat will occur at Quonset Hut Hemp Cooperative (39820 CR 19\, Fort Collins\, CO)\, with some associated events at Wolverine Farm Publick House (316 Willow St.\, Fort Collins\, CO).

SUMMARY:Drunken Haiku Competition (Summer Poetry Camp)
DESCRIPTION:A BAFS Poetry Camp tradition since the very first year (2014)\, the ‘Drunken Haiku Competition’ is an exercise in contemplative intoxication and how that relates to creative output in artists. While this concept can be used as a fun party game\, this workshop instead focuses on developing a personal understanding of how altered states of consciousness affect your writing. We will each use a preferred form of ‘intoxication’ – be that alcohol or other psychotropic substances\, induced trance\, pranayama\, ecstatic dance/prayer\, kundalini shock treatment\, or perhaps even tantric masturbation. Whatever techniques you use to ‘get in the mood’ to write we will ask you to practice in this workshop.  \n\n\n\nThe point (think alcohol) is to recognize when you hit peak creativity\, and when you’ve ‘had too much’ and quality declines. Each round of the competition – Take a ‘Shot’\, Write a Haiku\, Read yr Example\, Vote on Favorite – can include brief process notes. The round ‘winner’ will choose a theme for the following round. In the end you will have an observable record of where you peaked and where you went too far. Again\, this is a contemplative/meditation workshop\, not a ‘party’. Side conversations or other distractions detract from everyone’s ability to concentrate\, and the zen tyrant will “Shush” you as necessary. Discussion will be encouraged at the end\, firmly discouraged during.” \n\n\n\nAbout Summer Poetry CampDuring July 4th weekend the annual summary poetry retreat will occur at Quonset Hut Hemp Cooperative (39820 CR 19\, Fort Collins\, CO)\, with some associated events at Wolverine Farm Publick House (316 Willow St.\, Fort Collins\, CO).

SUMMARY:3rd Tuesday: Open Mic & July Feature: Jake Friedman!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the monthly culmination of the “Journey of the Poem.” The evening begins with an immersive workshop at 4 pm\, hosted this month by featured poet Jake Friedman. Later\, the energy shifts to our community open mic at 6 pm\, a supportive space to share your own work. From first-time readers to seasoned performers\, all are welcome to take the stage and celebrate the diverse voices of our collective. Jake will perform a featured set halfway through! \n\n\n\nPhoto by Kelsey Pinckney (2023)\n\n\n\nAbout Jake Friedman\n\n\n\nJake Friedman is a poet\, editor\, and culture worker. He has an MFA in Poetry from Colorado State University and is currently serving as Poet Co-Laureate of Fort Collins\, CO\, among other things. He has a very cute two year old who you may have seen walking around town sometimes. He lives with his partner down the street from Wolverine. \n\n\n\nAbout Jake’s 4 pm Workshop\n\n\n\nHammers\, Mirrors\, Restive Hands: Documentary PoeticsSaussure says that language is at every moment a product of the past. Ergo\, perhaps the poet is a kind of a historian. Our task\, then\, is to seize a memory at the moment of danger\, to resist becoming a tool of the ruling class. Documentary poetics (the practice of composing from other texts) is an underworld practice—a channeling or summoning\, necromancy or possession—a critical tool we can leverage against power and institutions\, an examination of our own position or complicity.  \n\n\n\nAnd so\, what we’re going to do in this workshop is: \n\n\n\n\nIntroduce the movement or process known as documentary poetics\n\n\n\nRead and discuss one or two of the following authors—Layli Long Soldier\, Muriel Rukeyser\, Anne Carson\, M Nourbese Philip\, Solmaz Sharif\, Nicole Sealey\n\n\n\nGlance briefly at theory\n\n\n\nThink about how documentary might fit into your own work\n\n\n\nGive you a little space to get started \n\n\n\nShare and receive on-the-spot feedback\n\n\n\nProvide references and resources for future reading\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: writers of all backgrounds and experiences are welcome. You don’t also need to have ‘a project’ or ‘work’ to participate.
