This blog. What is it? I mean, I already have, like, 2 blogs, 5 if you count my inactive ones. So why another? This is a blog specifically for my poetry.
What this is not:
A chance for me to claim my brilliance. Most of my poems are barely scraps. They can use to be reworked, over and over again. I'm not putting up my work to "showcase" it even though, by means of blogging them, they will have a tiny amount of exposure.
What this is:
A chance for me to sort out what I've done. And more importantly, a chance to get constructive feedback. Whether you think you know poetry or not, I want to hear your reactions, whether they are positive, negative or neutral.
Another thing, I will post on here, are findings on poetry I've found fascinating. I am currently in a poetry writing class and we've been required to do findings by other writers about topics such as imagination, work habits and revision. I might even post up other peoples' poems which have inspired or influenced me.
So not to overwhelm you all with my full collection of mediocre to crap poems, I will post one a week, or every few days.
I think I've said all that's needed here. Here we go...
A writing blog turned collaborate writing project. I look inward for inspiration, but I want to look outward into the lives of people in the community around me. All future postings will be based off of submissions from different people, whose lives one way or another are intertwined.
