• teaching poetry/academic poetry analysis
• historical poet mini-biographies
• html etc. tutorial for conveying poetry with precise spacing online/on Dreamwidth
• seasonal poetry
• prompted poetry (building relationships between poet + audience)
• exhaustive list of active poets (amateur and professional alike) on Dreamwidth
• multi-authored poetry
• books/resources about poetry writing/reading/etc.
• questions for the audience (ever written a haiku? know any poems by heart? favorite poem? etc.)
• Writing exercises/practices
• etc.

Suggestions to add or refine the prospective themes much appreciated.

theme suggestion

[jjhunter]

From ysabetwordsmith:

That reminds me, someone recently mentioned not seeing much asexual poetry except for mine and what appears in AVENues. Add in nonsexual intimacy, and that would make a good theme some time. A lot of folks get tired of the rush-to-bed approach.

Re: theme suggestion

[alee_grrl]

That would make an excellent theme.

Possible resources include ysabetwordsmith's meta re: nonsexual intimacy (LJ version has links to parts 2-5).
