A presentation by Jane Greer discussing what is a poem and why we should respect meaning and definition. This presentation preceded our monthly poetry discussion group as a prompt for deeper conversation.
About Jane Greer – Jane Greer is a Catholic formalist poet. She founded and edited Plains Poetry Journal (1981-1993). PPJ was an advance guard of the New Formalism movement—although Greer didn’t know that at the time. Her two most recent poetry collections are Love Like a Conflagration (2020) and The World as We Know It Is Falling Away (2022), both from Lambing Press. She lives in North Dakota.
About Mike Rippy – Mike has worked in the art museum industry for over 20 years and the visual arts for over 30. Through Let Go The Goat, Mike will be sharing his own burgeoning journey into a deeper understanding of poetry so that others who may be curious but intimidated by the medium may feel less apprehensive.
