• NaPoWriMo 2023- Day 12- Dear Poetry, Please Stay

  

  Today’s featured resource is another podcast: A Mouthful of Air. In each episode of this relatively new series, a contemporary poet (generally from the U.K.) discusses one of their poems or, alternatively, host Mark McGuinness discusses a classic poem, like Gerard Manley Hopkins’ “The Windhover.” And now for another (optional) prompt from our archives. Today, I…

• NaPoWriMo Day 21: Today, I’ll tell myself

  And now for our (optional) prompt. Have you ever heard or read the nursery rhyme, “There was a man of double deed?” It’s quite creepy! A lot of its effectiveness can be traced back to how, after the first couplet, the lines all begin with the same two phrases (either “When the . . .”…

• Guilty

  

  I’m guilty of forgetting of a memory that’s fading I can’t remember The sound of your voice That lulled me to bed when my heart filled with dread or urged me to be tough when the going got rough Or bolstered me up When my cup spilled over And said, ‘Try my dear, once more.’…

• NaPoWriMo : Day 22 – An ode to baking

  

  And now for our daily (optional) prompt. As our film for the day shows, art and poetry can richly affect one another. Frank O’Hara’s poem, “Why I am Not a Painter,” speaks to this mutual engagement, as do explicitly ekphrastic poems (i.e., poems that are about a specific work of art), like Thom Gunn’s “In…
