Sinopsis

Poetry Without Pants: Written When NobodyâÇÖs Lookingáis the second volume in an evolving series of books created by ShiftPoetryâäó, a program designed to use freewheeling writing (poetry in the broadest sense aka writing without rules) to get to a better place in life.áShiftPoetryâäó is bibliotherapy - using words to heal, to understand problems, to find solutions.ááJournaling and memoir writing are forms of bibliotherapy but ShiftPoetryâäó is faster, more spirited, encourages group participation, allows for deep self-awareness but it is also gratifying and at times even lighthearted - and fun.ááPoetry Without Pantsábegan as a companion piece to Volume One -áShiftPoetryâäó in the Time of COVID-19 An Anthology of Healing Poems and a Workbook to Help You Write Yourself Well.áááIn Volume II people write more lightheartedly, even 'absurdly' about life behind masks, with social distancing, and Zoom meetings (from classes to meet-ups) largely viewing other people 'from the waist up'.áWhat lurks below the Zoom screen?ááPajama bottoms?áááScanty underwear?ááCrazy shoes and sox?ááAlter ego gear?ááAnd what lurks from within oneâÇÖs spirit and soul?ááAnd, what has being generated and lived through 'when nobodyâÇÖs looking?'ááShiftPoets, like a good portion of society, were being quarantined, sequestered, either alone or with a 'pod' of only one or a few other folks.ááAlone time brought out creativity and craziness - all reflected in poems in Volume Two.ááVery different from the work in Volume One.áPoetry Without Pantsáis presented in three parts.ááPart Oneáresembles Volume I - in that it offers prompts, inviting pages on which to create, and sample poems from 28 authors written in response to thoughtful and provocative prompts.ááAuthors wrote 'Boxers or Briefs' and many other poems addressing 'Zoom Wardrobe', including a poem by that name.áá'What Do I Write When No One is Looking?' reflected on secrets and unique thoughts that bubble up in sad, singular, insecure times.ááOther entertaining, triggering and stimulating poems include 'Maskinista' - about our new fashionista way of life behind masks, and the self-explanatory 'Alone is Fine With a Good Bottle of Wine'.ááPart Twoáfeatures diverse work from 14 highlighted ShiftPoets including not only pandemic poetry but other work generated by folks who have adopted a ShiftPoetry approach to solving problems in their lives across the board.Part Three introducesáa new kind of over the top ShiftPoetry we have anointedáSchtickPoetry - Satire, Spoof, and Parody.áááPoems reflect on the madness of these times including a teacherâÇÖs lament in 'Zoom Teaching', some travelerâÇÖs laments, 'Flying First Class During a Pandemic' and 'Outer Space is Looking Good' - and other reflections including 'Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah' and 'How Come I Have To Wear Pants'.ááThere are a few political statements including a tiny zany play 'Civility Presidential Style 2020'.ááAnd so much more.For more information check outáwww.ShiftPoet
