A special Co-Creating Show about social media, collaboration, Facebook, poetry and connection.
Join Cassie Premo Steele, the author of the forthcoming Wednesday poems book, the world's first-ever Facebook co-created poetry book!
She will talk about her recently successfully funded Kickstarter campaign to support the book's launch, discuss the power of Facebook and social media to co-create across the globe in surprisingly nurturing and powerful ways, read poems from the book, and take your questions on air!
From the book's intro by Daniel Dowe:
"Since June 2010, Cassie has been inviting her friends, fellow artists, clients, and colleagues to join her in a poetry writing collaboration. Every Wednesday, she asks friends to add a word to a Facebook thread—and by the middle of that day, she takes whatever she gets—and the choices can really vary sometimes—and constructs a poem that somehow weaves the spirit and the intentions of all those words and all those who participated.
What Cassie Premo Steele has found is that we are social animals, as well as poets, and that we all love to participate and have a say. Usually the noisiness of life and the din of so many voices keep that from being practical. But every Wednesday, on Cassie’s Facebook thread, a group of minds and hearts and spirits come together, and they make art and music, and yes, poetry together—all with some silent urging for wholeness working wonders, and yet with their own humorous, clever, social, political, enigmatic, and spiritual results."
