Intermezzo

One trouble with "National Poetry Month" is that where the other eleven months don't always have enough poetry, April has too much poetry--not in a moral or critical sense, of course, but so much is going on that one can't take it all in, restricted as we are by the Time-Space-Finance Continuum. How often do you really find yourself sending regrets to a poetry event because another poetry event conflicts, or wondering if you'll find time to write in between all the readings and workshops?

It is a good problem to have, and if you don't have it, you're not trying hard enough and/or hiding.

Here is some more stuff for you to read: some awesome 30/30 blogs by folks I know:

• hideously, she said (Niina)
• Calliope Captive (Bernadette)
• Frontal Junkyard (Marie-Elizabeth)
• the miracle beast (Victoria)

Here are two places to find poetry prompts and support for doing your own 30/30 poems:

• NaPoWriMo (readwritepoem)
• Poetic Asides ( Robert Lee Brewer @ Writer's Digest)

If you haven't started/have fallen hopeless behind, why not start anew on the 16th? Your taxes will be filed and it's just two short weeks. Play the Back Nine and get 15 poems out of it!

Here is a place for you to visit if you like free poetry and free box wine:

• The Seventh Annual Sarah Lawrence College Poetry Festival (this weekend!)
