Perhaps this blog comes as a surprise after months of silence. I must admit to doubting the value of making a blog. So many more important and calamitous matters occupy our attention. “The Poetry of Wonder” is a workshop I recently presented, the purpose being to present the practice of poetry as a way of helping us to pay attention to existence. Perhaps it’s worth breaking the silence to send you this invitation to participate in the workshop and to share it with others. Peace, Richard L. Rose
