Srikanth Reddy and CM Burroughs on Margaret Danner - The Poetry Magazine Podcast
This week, guest editor Srikanth Reddy and poet CM Burroughs dive into the world of Margaret Danner. Danner was a contemporary of Gwendolyn Brooks and Langston Hughes, whom she knew personally, but she never achieved the recognition she deserved in her lifetime. If you look for Dannerโs poetry in your local bookstore, you wonโt find anything in print. Recently, Burroughs connected with Danner, a poet from her lineage as a Black woman writing in America, but not through Dannerโs poemsโthrough her archival โhair-down letters.โ Reddy and Burroughs talk about Danner, race in America, and also faith. Danner converted to Bahaโi, a relatively new world religion devoted to the unity of all faiths, in the early sixties. Burroughs reads one of her poems titled โGod Letter,โ from her newest book Master Suffering, and weโll hear two poems by Danner. Weโre grateful to also share a bit from the choir at the Bahรก'รญ House of Worship and their director of music, Van Gilmer. You can read more work by and on Margaret Danner, includingย CM Burroughsโsย โDear Margaret: An Epistolary Collaboration,โย in the March 2022 issue.Poetry Foundation Poetry Off the Shelf Producer Helena de Groot explores the diverse world of contemporary poetry with readings by poets, interviews with critics, and short poetry documentaries.

Magnetic Poetry Kit Magnets That Reveal The Poet Within Dave Kapell, the founder of Magnetic Poetry, was suffering from writer's block while trying to compose song lyrics. To overcome this problem, he wrote down interesting words on pieces of paper and rearranged them, looking for inspiration. What he hadn't figured into this experiment were his allergies. One good sneeze and any progress was sent flying across the room. Dave decided to glue the words to pieces of magnets and stick them to a pizza tin. Then he got hungry and the now magnetized words made their way to the refrigerator door. Before too long, Dave wasn't the only one rearranging his would-be song lyrics. When friends came over, Dave noticed they started to move the magnets around, amusing themselves by writing the first magnetic poems.

MasterClass 10 Creative Writing Prompts for Story Ideas Whether youโre trying to start a new story, or struggling with writerโs block in the middle of one, ideas may seem difficult to come by. To discover your next novel or short story idea, exercise your creative writing muscle with this list of creative writing prompts and story starters that will mine your life experiences, passions, and imagination for inspiration.
Coursera Sharpened Visions: A Poetry Workshop Offered by California Institute of the Arts. Why just write poems when you can write better ones? This course is built on the notion that the most exciting writing begins after the first draft. It is specifically for folks who believe that writing poems just to express oneself is like using the Internet just for email. After all, poetry can change the way you and your readers think of the world and its inhabitants; it can break new ground for language; turn a blank sheet of paper into a teeming concert of voices and music. Though many of us may have the potential to make that happen, having an understanding of how several tools of poetic composition can be used (and audaciously โmisusedโ) gives you more ways to try (and if we do this right, we might surprise ourselves most of all). We'll cover key poetic terms and devices by studying poems by a handful of modern and contemporary poets and then get a chance to try our own hand at writing new poem drafts from a select number of prompts. Throughout the course you will have the opportunity to workshop your poem drafts and get feedback on your work, working towards a more polished poem.
