read write word #13
by Jessica Fox-Wilson
Here we are, on the eve of NaPoWriMo. Do you know what poems you plan on writing?
Maybe you should use some of the words supplied by Sam and Danielle for one of your inaugural NaPoWriMo masterpieces. Even if you don’t plan on participating in the NaPoWriMo challenge, why not use as many (or as few) of these words as you want for a new poem? Once you’ve created your poem, feel free to link in the comments here or wait for Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.
If you would like to help fuel your fellow writer’s NaPoWriMo poems, start thinking about your favorite words and jot them down. Rumor has it Jill might just have something up her sleeve!
All of our pretty word collages are crafted at the Wordle site.

- it’s a wrap: last stop on our (virtual) tour of molly gaudry’s ‘anatomy for the artist’
March 15, 2010 | 3:28 pm“I was physically drained by this poem. I understood it on my terms. If a poet’s innovative craftsmanship with form, word, sound, imagery, metaphor, can show me my own bones, then I want to read more of that poet’s work.”
Just a snippet from Wanda McCollar’s response to Molly Gaudry’s electronic chapbook, “Anatomy for the Artist.” Look for the entire post on Synecdochic Stuff and find the rest of our tour, below.
The first stop was Donna Vorreyer at her blog. Next up was Catherine Fitchett at Poetry Chook, Lawrence Gladeview at Righteous Rightings and Ren Powell at More Babel.
You can find complete information about this chapbook and tour here, including a link to where to find it and read it for yourself, online.
Next month’s tour will start mid-April. Don’t miss it!
