Woodstock Talks invites anybody in word or earshot with something to say to talk—not read—in an open forum. Speakers can relate anything in words—a discovery, story, insight, scat, rant, rap, rhapsody, etc.—but (remembering Mallarmé loosely saying all language is poetry “except advertising”) the talk can’t be selling anything. There will be a first-come, first-serve signup sheet, and while short talks are encouraged, you should plan a maximum of eight minutes of speaking time.
