No one needs an advanced degree in creative writing to reap the rewards of poetry.
Welcome to the online community that puts poetry back into the hands of the people––not because we are aspiring to become the poet laureate of the United States––but because poetry is one of the great pleasures in life.
Together, we'll explore inspiring new ways to build skills and confidence in our poetic voice. We'll share out poems, ideas and inspirations to keep each other engaged in our creative process. And we'll appreciate poetry for what it is--not just an art form, but a way of life.
This blog is an invitation to cultivate your receptivity to language and image--so you can live the poetry you want to write. It is a continuation of the conversation that began in my forthcoming book,
Writing the Life Poetic: An Invitation to Read & Write Poetry, available from Writer's Digest Books in March 2009.
I look forward to getting to know you and your poetry! Come back and visit often now, y'hear?
