Welcome hoodlums, wanderers, paragons, Svengalis, and hoi polloi!
I've talked to some of y'all about workshopping outside of our overly elephantine class. My idea for this blog is to use it as a forum for sharing our work & giving constructive feedback; in addition, it can serve as a impulse colloquy (I'd love to see posts with words/ ideas/ poems that inspire your work, whether avant-garde or orthodox)..
If we decide to step out of the cyber realm, I see wine & scribbling in the near future of this collective ;-) Who knows, maybe a chapbook could come out of this. Whatever happens, all I ask for is a propinquity to poetics and a desire to include this blog in your stockpile of procrastination gambits.
And please, don't hold back on feedback!
Jibber-jabberedly yours,
Patrycja

Hi guys,
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to massively increase my vocabulary, Patrycja :) Thanks for the invitation to blog, write, wander, etc. I'm excited to be a part of it.
While I'm at it, I'd like to write a poem about why so many women writers go crazy. Any ideas on how to approach this?

ha ha. i'm flattered. i love uncovering new words, and make a point to incorporate them into my day as soon as i do. however, my on-hand lexicon, when it comes to being quick witted face-to-face and all that, is lacking.
ReplyDeleteyou are quite welcome, in both senses of the word! i am looking forward to watching this evolve. i loved the idea we talked about yesterday of collaborative work. i'd like to take this blog outside of the cyber realm and find times (whether sporadic or regular) to meet with people involved. we could organize our own readings (perhaps including some delicious hors d'oeuvres), distribute our work in some form.. there are so many options
hmmm women writers going crazy... i guess my first question is, what is "crazy"? potentially a stimulating, controversial topic... also, i'd consider focusing on a few poets and investigating the similarities between their lives, what they write about, etc, and using those connecting dots as a springboard..
