O Pen! In 2004, I wrote a poem called "O Pen" and performed it at an open mic. Mid-way through Pacific University's MFA program, I decided I needed a way to discuss poems I was studying or wanted to know more about. O Pen sounded like a perfect name for such a group, and we have been meeting each week, since February 2008. I dedicate my musings to the creative, thoughtful and intelligent people who attend and to those who enjoy delving into the magic of a poem!

Poems for July 15
Things -- by Lisel Mueller
Another Thing by David Mason
Lenten Song by Phillis Levin
Age Appropriate by Philip Schultz
The End and the Beginning -- Wislawa Szymborska
Three of the poems (Mason, Levin, Schultz) come from the July/Aug. issue of Poetry.
We'll follow up on the idea of "things" and how we organize ourselves, our relationships.
