Bernice Mennis Looking Out/ Looking In

Robert Bly writes of the poet Rilke feeling trapped within his own mind, his poems “vague, poetic, and talky “and how Rilke needed to look more closely and listen more intently to the outside world. In this talk I’ll reflect on how closely observing the world outside enables us to journey within– how, by some “magic,” images, objects, details lets us touch on what is not yet within consciousness, enriching writing, music, art, and life.
Bernice taught for 20 years in Vermont College’s Adult Degree Program (for adults returning to College often after many years) and for 12 years in Skidmore College’s University Without Walls in Great Meadows Prison. Her book “Breaking Out of Prison: a guide to consciousness, compassion, and freedom” was “dedicated to my students who were my teachers.”
