• NaPoWriMo Day 9 – To-Do list of A Teen girl

  

  Our (optional) prompt for the day is to write a poem in the form of a “to-do list.” The fun of this prompt is to make it the “to-do list” of an unusual person or character. For example, what’s on the Tooth Fairy’s to-do list? Or on the to-do list of Genghis Khan? Of a…

• Goa – All Girls’ Trip

  

  Of the 10 girls’ in our MBA class, 5 said ‘Yes’ to the proposition. This was 3 months ago. The other 5, like most people, had reasons that did not make coming possible – priorities of children’s exams, work, managing home etc. One even said she felt too lazy to make it. More often, it’s…

• NaPoWriMo Day 3 : Legs

• NaPoWriMo 2018: Day 20 – Let Every Girl Be

  

  The craft resource for the day is Alice Notley’s essay, The Poetics of Disobedience. In it, Notley advocates for a poet to “maintain a state of disobedience against…everything.” By this she means remaining open to all forms, all subjects, and not becoming beholden to “usual” methods for writing. Whenever we are sure that there is one…
