Yes, this is the season where everyone is getting back to learning, for colleges to get back to reading submissions, for students to sharpen their pencils and their minds. Now is the best time to sharpen your own pencils, freshen up on some poetry reading and create new poems or polish up existing ones. Be on the lookout for colleges accepting submissions for their literary journals (you can also utilize Poet Hound’s Thursday Open Submissions) and open your mind by reading poems by writers you haven’t seen or heard of before. Prepare yourself for renewed dedication to your craft and try to set aside some time each week to write, read, and contemplate poetry now that summer vacation is over. Before you know it, poems will come naturally to your mind, you will find places that will accept your style of poetry, and everything will hopefully fall into place with grace.
Good luck to all of you on your newfound poetic dedication, please check in Monday for more poetry related web-sites…
*Sept 15th will feature an interview with the editors of the poetry and art journal, Nerve Cowboy, so be sure to stop in next Tuesday as well…
