Troubadour Conference
Public – By The Troubador Poet’s Guild
______________________________________________________________________________
April 1 at 8:00am until April 3 at 5:00pm
______________________________________________________________________________
The Troubadour Poet’s Guild is proud to announce
the third annual Troubadour’s Conference. Come share your love soaked lyrics,
listen to master troubadours like Guillem de Cabestan, Arnaud Daniel, Bertran
de Born, and a special reading from one of our trobairitz, Beatriz de Dia. Each
performance will be followed by a short speech on their pieces and each day
will host a panel of the featured performers. To our newcomers: the Troubadour’s
Conference is a place where the lovesick poets of Europe come to share ideas,
stories, critique each other’s works, and commiserate over each other’s stories
of forbidden and courtly love. Whether you are a poet, troubadour or simply a
lover of the written word everyone is welcome to attend. If you are new to the
artistry of perfect prose, learn how to make your works stand out in our many
writing workshops, including Cute or Creepy: Traversing the Fine Line, Rhyming
101, She’s Just Not That Into You: Yes She Is, Overcoming Doubt, and more!

Hadrian Forthwind Looking forward to the readings! Will there be

There will be ample
opportunity to ask the poets about their prose. After the readings the featured
troubadours will answer questions from those in attendance.

Hadrian Forthwind Thanks! I’m really looking forward to hearing Beatriz de Dia’s performance, especially since I heard that
she usually has a musical aspect to them.

Beatriz de Dia I do integrate music into my poetry, and thank
you for the support! I’m looking forward to performing and answering your questions.

Ezio Auditore de
Firenze Traveling all the way
from Florence to attend. If anyone else is coming up from Italy it might be a
good idea to travel in a group.

Francesco Vecello I’ll be going my brother. Message me and we can
organize our travels. I did not expect you to take an interest in poetry.

Ezio Auditore de
Firenze Sounds excellent, I will
begin preparations for our journey. I thought it would be exciting for Claudia,
you remember my sister, to travel. She has a soft spot for poetry and her
birthday is coming up, so I thought i would surprise her.

Lady Maerwyn of
Warwick I’m so excited! I wanted
to go last year but my husband wanted to go hunting instead.

Well we are all glad to
have you in attendance m’ lady. Perhaps you will find an admirer here who would
rather sing of your beauty than attend a hunting trip any day.
For your hair is as golden and warm as the sun
that shines on the fairest of spring days
Your face is the essence of purity, lily white
with cheeks tinged with a pink so delicate
With a smile whiter than pearls and sweeter than
honey

But let’s keep it within

No worries Lord Cedric of Warwick. A troubadour’s poems are that of
courtly love and affection from afar. Your fair Lady Maerwyn of Warwick is a muse and you are a lucky man.
