✨ Burst Poetry ✨

When I gave Alison the prompt ‘Tokyo’ before receiving my ‘poem on demand,’ she had no idea that it was my dream to move to Japan. As she was writing the first line, I was already in tears.
— JP Kelly

A radical form of presence

 

Burst Poetry invites both writer and receiver into the immediacy of the here and now through rapid stream of conscious poetry.

The idea was born at Esalen Institute on a sunny morning as the fog was burning off the coastline, and is the ethos behind my latest poetry anthology, Beautifully Mundane.

I offer Burst Poetry via a Poem on Demand Popup Booth at creative and conscious-oriented events.
