i spend a lot of time reading poetry books, and almost the same amount of time researching online, trying to learn about the poetry world. i feel like i have a lot of catching up to do!
the world is changing, and poetry right along there with it.
*the growing trend in writing twitter poems. take a peek at the poems submitted by four famous poets in honor of world poetry day. i think it's pretty great that poets made up a new form (one of many!) to mirror the latest way to communicate. it's the new haiku, i guess?
*a student at bryn mawr wrote her student thesis about poet marianne moore (who graduated from the college in the early 1900s). the interesting thing her project is available online, and it shows the original poem next to the student's interpretation, plus other relevant historical info about the poem. it's so super nerdy, but i love that the academic world is sharing with the rest of us.
look for some new poetry in next monday's post.
be well,
b*
