SUMMARY:Mussar As a Generative Practice for Art and Poetry
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 14\, 21\, 28 and March 6\, 2024 \n12-1:30 p.m. EST\n$180 for four sessions \nMussar is a spiritual practice based on centuries-old teachings and texts which we still find valuable today. Its wholehearted approach to leading an ethical life is inspiring and creative. As a Mussar learner\, Cathleen Cohen uses poetry and visual art to deepen an understanding of Torah\, mitzvot and spirituality through encounters with others. In this 4-week Immersion\, you are invited to use writing and visual artmaking to touch on Mussar themes like middot (character traits) and heshbon ha’nefesh\, (“accounting of the soul”)\, and open a conversation between yourselves and the characteristics you aspire to master. No prior experience writing poetry\, creating visual art or studying Mussar is needed! \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants. We encourage live attendance for you to get the most out of the experience. \n  \nCathleen Cohen was the 2019 Poet Laureate of Montgomery County\, PA. A painter and teacher\, she founded the We the Poets program at ArtWell\, an arts education non-profit in Philadelphia. Her poems appear in journals such as Apiary\, Baltimore Review\, Cagibi\, East Coast Ink\, 6ix\, North of Oxford\, One Art\, Passager\, Philadelphia Stories\, Rockvale Review and Rogue Agent. Camera Obscura (chapbook\, Moonstone Press)\, appeared in 2017 and Etching the Ghost (Atmosphere Press) in 2021. She received the Interfaith Relations Award from the Montgomery County PA Human Rights Commission and the Public Service Award from National Association of Poetry Therapy. Her paintings are on view at Cerulean Arts Gallery (ceruleanarts.com).

SUMMARY:Tongues Shaped Like Harps: Experimenting with Poetry and Visual Art
DESCRIPTION:June 6\, 13\, 20\, 27\, 2023\n12:00–1:30 p.m. EDT \n“Pray in the tongues / that are shaped like harps” \n—From “Versöhnung” (Reconciliation)\, by Else Lasker-Schüler \nPoetry and visual art have a long history of inspiring each other. The German-Jewish poet Else Lasker-Schüler\, quoted above\, was influenced by Franz Marc and other Expressionist painters\, and her work\, in turn\, influenced other artists. In this immersion\, we’ll look at connections between a variety of Jewish poets and artists\, like Marc Chagall and Alexander Mazin\, and John O’Hara and Mike Goldberg. We’ll also look at creatives who work across different media\, like Jean Arp\, Tristan Tzara\, Marcia Falk\, and Maya Pindyck. These works will inspire our own experiments in writing ekphrastic poetry (poetry that responds to other art forms). We will also deepen our writing through simple exercises in drawing\, watercolor painting\, and collage. By playing with different media\, we will see how writing and art can open up new avenues of creativity in conversation with each other. All are welcome\, regardless of experience in writing poetry or artmaking. \nCathleen Cohen was the 2019 Poet Laureate of Montgomery County\, PA. A painter and teacher\, she founded the We the Poets program at ArtWell\, an arts education non-profit in Philadelphia. Her poems appear in journals such as Apiary\, Baltimore Review\, Cagibi\, East Coast Ink\, 6ix\, North of Oxford\, One Art\, Passager\, Philadelphia Stories\, Rockvale Review and Rogue Agent. Camera Obscura (chapbook\, Moonstone Press)\, appeared in 2017 and Etching the Ghost (Atmosphere Press) in 2021. She received the Interfaith Relations Award from the Montgomery County PA Human Rights Commission and the Public Service Award from National Association of Poetry Therapy. Her paintings are on view at Cerulean Arts Gallery (ceruleanarts.com). \nAll sessions will be recorded and sent to participants.

SUMMARY:What My Hands Tell: Exploring Ekphrasis
DESCRIPTION:“My heart cannot bear to say what my hands tell.” —Maxine Silverman \nA certain alchemy happens when different art forms speak to each other\, which is known as ekphrasis. Poems that respond to visual art offer new avenues into expressing what the heart wants to say. In this session we will examine artwork and poems in relationship as they challenge and illuminate each other. We will explore ekphrastic poems and visual art from a variety of Jewish creatives (e.g.\, Maxine Silverman\, Celia Dropkin) to inspire our own writing. \nCathleen Cohen was the 2019 Poet Laureate of Montgomery County\, PA.
