I sure would have liked to have seen typewriters that belong(ed) to Langston Hughes, Walter Mosley, James Baldwin and Donald Goines. But I guess this is still dope.

“Men’s magazine for men”. Dr. Cotton writes: ”Smith Journal is a men’s magazine for real men who want to read about real things”, but according to the magazine itself, it is a publication which also writes for ladies who like reading about discerning gents. This Aussie journal anyway is a friendly guide to all things creative, intriguing, genuine and funny – full of stories, people, adventures, interesting conversations and gentlemanly style. Just take note of its pilot issue which featured Typewriters and the men who loved them (See photo above).

You may have seen this sticker/shirt/cup/kite lurking around town. You can get it from the Multnomah County Friends of the Library, Portland, OR!

NaPoWriMo 2012 - 30 Poems in 30 Days - Day 30

Looks like we made it! Today is the last day of the NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Month) poetry challenge! 30 poems in 30 days never felt so good. I am super honored to present my last poem for the month and it was featured on today’s NPR radio program Tell Me More. To celebrate National Poetry Month host Michel Martin featured the lyrical art form in a unique way, fusing poetry and social media. In the month long Muses and Metaphor series, Twitter users were asked to tweet poems using 140 characters or less and post them with the #TMMPoetry hashtag. Curator of the series, Holly Bass then set out to select her favorites to feature on the show and mine was chosen to close out the series!

To read and listen to my Twitter poem Feed Me, which was featured on the show click here. You can also listen to the entire Muses and Metaphor segment which features my poem along with Holly’s explanation of why she chose it to end the series here. I hope you enjoyed National Poetry Month!

Feed Me

Feed me, put poetry on the plate. I’ll dine with gratitude savoring the taste. Digesting every word. Leaving no diameter to waste.
