So far my experience with Second Life is discouraging, but I'm keeping an open mind about it. The world is often slow and difficult to move around. Also, like the real world, there seems to be too much to take in. It's hard to find what you want, there's no goal or mission, and searching becomes tedious after awhile. But, I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
In the search of creative arts I have made a few discoveries. The Asgard Gallery in Theretra is a great art gallery with lots of links to others. All of the pictures have integrated poetry. You simply click on the pictures and a haiku pops up. The "digital art" is exquisite. I would love to learn how they create it, but people are hard to find in this place.
I have joined a couple groups, POETRY GUILD and Writers of SL. They give out invitations and post interesting things, but I have not yet been to an event.
I am planning on going to The Wrong Way Cafe on Monday at 2pm (11 am eastern) for a poetry reading. It looks like a great place and it will be very interesting to see how a poetry reading is done online.
Also, I found an online magazine about SL called In The Grid, http://www.jasonpettus.com/inthegrid/ which gives a lot of information about interesting things going on in SL.
I am developing ideas for the presentation and I will continue to post my thoughts.
