Are you considering writing a poem a day during April? The Poetic Asides blog sponsors the Poem-a-Day challenge, where you follow prompts and leave your poem-of-the-day in the comments. Poems are then chosen by judges to be included in an e-anthology; judges include Dorianne Laux, Nick Flynn, Mark Doty, Aimee Nezhukumatathil…and me, among others.
Check it out here!
It starts on April 1, and runs through my birthday, April 30.
And will I be doing a poem a day, during April, during which I teach an online workshop for National University, have a visit with my mom (who’s coming in town to present a paper at an academic conference,) hopefully get down to the LA Festival of Books, and generally have a packed schedule? Well, I’ll try. My current plan is to do poems based on the periodic table of elements. Good times.
