- planning for napowrimo in april, and you are invited!
February 2, 2010 | 6:12 pmHello, hello dear Read Write Poem community members! We are in the planning stages for NaPoWriMo. (What? Is that a groan I hear, or an excited exclamation?)
We are planning another prompt-every-day for those folks who love to write a daily poem in April (which is, as most of you know, National Poetry Month in the United States — although there is an international following of writing poetry every day in April, too, so it is not just about the States).
Anyway! This is a call for prompts because we want to run your ideas, one every day, in April. So here’s what to do:
- Prompts must be no more than 250 words, and we will take the first 30 that we receive.
- Include “NaPoWriMo Prompt” in the subject line of your email as well as your username (e.g., the name you use when you log in) so we can match you up with your prompt and give you the link love.
- Email your submission (in the body of the email — no attachments please) to prompts (at) readwritepoem (dot) org!
We’ll let you know when we’ve got the 30, but don’t delay because it takes a lot of time to format the posts and we want to be ready come April Fools’ Day. Woohoo!
- new senior contributors at read write poem
February 2, 2010 | 11:51 amWe are thrilled to announce that Ren Powell and Dave Jarecki are moving into the senior contributor role at Read Write Poem. Both have been writing feverishly for the site, as well as providing ideas for content and for the community as a whole. In short, they make this site a more lively, and better, place.
Ren and Dave will fill the roles vacated by Carolee Sherwood and Jill Crammond Wickham, who have moved into the manager role.
Everyone please thank Ren and Dave for their hard work and commitment to Read Write Poem.

January 31, 2010 | 1:53 pmOur last stop on the Virtual Book Tour of Sarah J. Sloat’s In the Voice of a Minor Saint is with Ren Powell. Find Ren’s review at More Babel.
Joseph Harker provided our first stop in December, and you can find David Moolten’s review at Edible Detritus. David’s was followed by Dave Jarecki’s. Dave’s review is at his blog. Find Jill Crammond Wickham’s at Jillypoet: Mom Trying to Write.
In case you missed the introduction, we are (virtually) hosting Sarah J. Sloat’s In the Voice of a Minor Saint. For complete tour information, such as how you can get your own copy of the collection or how you can get involved in future tours, read this post.
- make your own book: get off the computer and onto the paper
January 30, 2010 | 4:19 pmBeth Adams has posted her latest project at The Cassandra Pages. “A Handmade Book” may not explicate all the details of bookbinding, but Beth shows readers the “Secret Belgian Binding.” It’s a beautiful as well as inspiring post.
If you would like more detailed instructions, Google “secret Belgian bookbinding” and find sites such as this one. Or look for a local book arts class for hands-on instruction.
As Beth says, ” … it did me good to get away from the computer and feel my hands at work!”

OK, listen: Here’s a collaborative poem I wrote with my real-life friend Beth. It’s not smelly, but there are fish in it. Two different kinds. So it’s kinda smelly in a way:
orange roughy
This was a smell-based poem I wrote a while back: Frangipani
Here’s a poem about smells: http://craftygreenpoet.blogspot.com/2008/08/rainy-scents.html
mine is a 315experiment poem from 2002 about night blooming jasmine, jungle & jaguar…I learned last night how to recorded with music but haven’t figured out how to post it yet on my wordpress blog!

and please do join us in writing this month of August at 315am! info on my blog or at http://www.315experiment.com (i think that’s right)
You’ll find mine in this post:

A poem called “Mating Rituals” and how scent attracts.

Note to the mods: I’m switching over to WordPress for my poetry and religious writing. The LiveJournal will be exclusively for my random personal crap from now on. My RWP buddies don’t really need to be bothered with updates on my lactose intolerance or lack of money.
Autobiography, Written In Scent
Here’s mine: http://disorder1313.wordpress.com/2008/08/01/exhaust-fumes-and-french-fries-revised
Forty-four years past and counting.
That Smell.
due to bad weather still in touch with cyberspace… now off to smell the real version of the smell described in this poem
Been quiet for a few weeks, but I’m baaaack with something smelly:

My nose told a story of a day at the beach….

I love how many people think collaboration is a monkey, given our poll results.
An Olfactory Meditation
Probably not a poem.
I don’t know what it is, or might become.
Any critiques, guidance, advice welcome.
I actually made myself a little ill writing *THIS ONE* .
Here’s my stinky poem about my house, cat, and husband.
There’s a little preface about my new journal cover, but I promise the poem is there, on the bottom.
Since my son is leaving for college soon, I have babies and children on the brain, and those kinds of smells. No, not diapers this time!
Hopeful scents
I was ACTUALLY tempted to pick MONKEY on the poll, because there were times when a poem sounded sane and then ended up sounding as crazy as monkeys. Nevertheless, I never get bored with collaborative works.

Yea for all our smelly poems! Here is my contribution — it’s a little light on the scents, but I did that to get your imagination working. It’s so on purpose.

The Essence of You

Here is mine with J. I. (though still a draft). I find it kind of challenging, yet interesting to work with someone who primarily writes prose.
