Our Mission

This is poetry as you’ve never experienced it before—cinematic, entertaining, poignant, accessible, and always memorable.
Through audience-interactive poetry performances and productivity workshops, we will tap into our deepest human needs and resources to promote.

and global understanding.
APPLAUSE
What else would it be — this rush
in the trees — veined leaf
brushing leaf as you sit like a maple,
old in its bark, limbs spreading?
That rain pattering the roof of your sleep
is your ovation, as is
the infinite blinking
of beetles, asps, whales.
Dearer and sure is the
unbidden and unbought —
a planet rapping melodies of itself
in the pulse of need and excess:
bees busy in the mint; waterfalls
and dripping caves; blood, wind,
wings; gills and sphincters;
dawn rubbing fog.
What little the tap of human tongue
and hand to this circuitry —
a universe rising up into itself
in gratitude for our breathing.
