30 poems in 30 days for the month of April?

I’m not gonna complain for only making 26 new poems (many of which SUCK!!) I get that’s not the point of 30 in 30. It’s been incredibly valuable to me to have this exercise; this campaign if you will.

Big shout out/thank you to Daphne Gottlieb for informing me of this month-long exercise. I think it was pretty good for her too. She took time out from a maniacal outpouring of words to ask me if I was doing the 30 in 30 Challenge and I got that perplexed crease in my brow and promptly asked “What’s that?”

Now each and every April now, I will not forget that! Now we’ll see if we can get this sweet creative outpouring to translate into some productive fiction for the month of May…something else I just learned! Can’t they have a monthly newsletter for tortured prose writers somewhere?
