Year of Poetry Update - Week 47
 |
| New Arrival |
Still the weather is nice. Spring almost through the door and we haven't got close to forty degrees here. Perfect writing weather if it wasn't for the day job and report writing.
My copy of wasting the milk in summer by Sara Saleh arrived and I am looking forward to reading this NSW Slam Poetry 2015 State finalist's work during my break. Check her out, an inspiring young Australian.
No submissions or rejections this week.
The Writing...
was good when I could get down to it. Report writing, marking, the extra hours that you don't get paid for but do because sometimes you are the only stable thing in a young person's life. Managed the two hours poetry writing last Sunday, but it was hard work.
The Study...
wasn't as enjoyable this week, the second half of Longenbach's chapter on Ending the Line in The Art of the Poetic Line seemed to hold less value for me and continuing into the next chapter on prose poetry admittedly nearly put my to sleep. I'm not convinced prose poetry's for me.
Close Reading...
None done this week.
