Our next meeting:
May St Louis poetry meetup. Pantoum
Venue: Amy's
Theme (optional): write a pantoum or find a nice one. Please bring printed handouts to share.
The pantoum was originally a 15th century Malayan form, brought to the West by Victor Hugo in 1829, taken up in England in the late 19th century. It caught on in America (mostly among the New York poets) in 1956, and on from there. Read more
