CHIVACA POETRY PROJECT:
Our next gathering is going to be SUPER fun, and different. The idea is to collaborate with a poet - hopefully a local one! To that end I've created a way for poets and musicians to drop ideas / works / documents / mp3s in one spot. It'll be a dropbox folder and you'll need two links: one for putin' stuff in and one for viewing all the stuff that's in there.
LINK TO PUT STUFF IN:

LINK TO SEE THE STUFF: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/2xk0epgp252ls8j1vwy48/ABx86u9qGE7gzjqvmQhu2mw?rlkey=ohq3a9mcwqfu142ozpu3dhvnx&st=5bbyhapd&dl=0
We need to share this with any local poet who is interested! If you already know someone that you want to collaborate with, then of course this is not necessary for you, but either way, I'd love to have you help us get the word out to would-be collaborators!
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
The only musical restriction we are giving is that whatever you write, please keep it to a MAX of 4 instruments (not including a singer / poet). Yes, it can be only one. Yes, it could be electronic. Yes it could be a choir of 4. Yes Yes Yes, to whatever you can dream up. We want to see what you come up with!
