I have precisely one of these to my name, and I got stuck doing it 3
years ago as the "price" for being a featured reader at an art gallery
in north Jersey. I had to psych myself into thinking I had something to
tell anyone about anything. So what I was pointed toward were prompts
and exercises devised by someone named Bernadette Meyer. I don't
remember the prompt I came up with or the poems that came out of it, but
it was lively and fun because *they* were doing the work and learning
from each other. I was just that (puke) facilitator you've heard about.
