The LUCIDITY poetry retreat is held every year in April (our national poetry month) in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It is an affordable conference, and a great learning experience, attracting poets from all across the US

Lucidity (A Weavers Sonnet) My eardrum bounces words like tennis balls, and gathers urns of grief with mournful walls. Why must I wrestle with the weight of sound, why do they lie there like a graveyard mound? I yearn for substance in selected scripts designed to frame and fix a furrowed brow; I pull forth words to rest upon my lips and dare to harness nouns or verbs to plow. Yet somehow tangled meanings still occur. Until the heavens’ gates are flung apart and every star agleam begins to blur may lyrics wrap themselves in action’s chart. Artistic wings may wake a sleeping cur and stitch the yarn in every reader’s fur.
