Hello all!
Once again we have started a new school year, and Poetry Club is back up and running! On Tuesdays we meet at 3:00 pm in the Hot Shot Cafe on the Albany campus. Wednesdays the Benton Center club meets at 5:30 pm in the conference room.
Lots of exciting and creatively driven projects are happening this year, so stay tuned! On this blog I often post weekly poems and prompts, original work from club members, upcoming literary events, and submission opportunities. I'll also be keeping you up-to-date on everything LBCC and Poetry Club related!
Let the writing begin!

and leap into the ripe air
Alive

to dash against darkness”

In Your Eyes
I shine on your stomach
where I removed your entrails
I swell your tongue in my grip
spread frozen across your skin
I sold your heart for feathers
liquefied your joints with pain
I set your whiskers a-quiver
and grew bulbs in your viscera
If you hide me in shame
I grow forever more
Yet if you name me
you prove I am not yours

Hello all!
At tonight's meeting at the Benton Center we were met with an interesting question: if you wrote a series of poems addressed to your faults, your ailments, or the "seven deadly sins" that you find yourself giving into (avarice, gluttony, pride...), what would they look like? What would they sound like? I challenge you to write your own series of personal letters, addressing these entities. Happy scribbles!
