This will be the 10th such event at my home over the last 5-6 years. Somewhat inspired by the 2015 book "Bandersnatch: C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Creative Collaboration of the Inklings" by Diana Pavlac Glyer. But the notion long stirred in my head per The Belfast Group that formed in 1963 consisting of poets, particularly Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), as well informal gatherings at lounges, cafes, diners, flats, farms by poets of the Beat Era, Lost Generation, Noigandres and Concrete artists in Sao Paulo, Parnassianism and Bohemianism in Paris and Berlin then Modernmissio in Buenos Aires, the Classics of course, and many more.
"Scatter as from an unextinguished hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawakened Earth
The trumpet of a prophecy!"
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822)
