Congrats! Even though I've only participated in PT once or twice, I keep going back for inspiration. And the new website is stunning. I'm glad you're doing the monthly column. Yay you!
you are BIG TIME! great to see you in lights-il pass along along Take a Poet to Lunch idea. However, how bout the other way around..."Poet take a non-poet/future poet to lunch Day." It CAN happen.
-making time for poetry--reading and writing -who are some of the best "low profile" poets right now -revision strategies -new places to look for inspiration
(can you tell I don't want to do any of my OWN work right now)
Woo-hoo, PoetMom! Just read your column--great ideas! I like Erin's topics...here are some others to noodle with:
1. For the poetry bookshelf--what are some books every poet should have on his or her shelf (they don't all necessarily need to be books of poetry, either...they could be special reference/style books etc).
2. Top five hottest poetry magazines/journals to submit to with submission guidelines..
3. A look back at the last four or five poet laureates and what they've done for poetry...conclude with the current goings-on of Donald Hall.
SO exciting! I can't wait to hear more about it this weekend. As for story ideas... maybe a primer on some of the different types of poetry? (For those of us who didn't study poetry in school. I was fascinated when I recently learned about the vilenelle (sp?) form.) Maybe a first person account of how you've come up with the ideas behind some of your poems?
