Hey everyone! My name is Phoebe and I'm heading to Florida's MFA program this fall for oranges and poetry. My year away from school has been pretty creatively dry and I was hoping to jump start my writing here! I mostly write in flash fiction/prose poetry/short short form, with a few sonnets thrown in here and there for good measure. I like insects ( Read more... )

Hi, I'm Jeff, happy to be here, and hoping this will be a good kick-start to my too-long-dormant poetry writing. I used to be an occasionally successful slam poet, have published in some okay places, and love the feeling of being lost in a poem, both as reader and as writer.

Hi, I'm Tim. I live in Los Angeles with the lovely and amazing quiet_flame, and work as editor of RATTLE. After graduating from the University of Rochester in 2003, I lounged around as an overnight counselor at a group home, taking advantage of a lot of down time to write -- poetry, fiction, garbage, etc -- and then stumbled ass-backward into this fine ( Read more... )

Hi, my name is Megan. I'm glad to be invited. I often crave to be part of a writerly community, but I couldn't hack the notorious poetryslamming, as I don't do the whole BDSM thing, so I'm glad positivity is emphasized here. I'm 23, I recently graduated from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA and moved to Los Angeles, California. I live with my lobster, ( Read more... )

Pruning the pomegranate tree
I am owed a thousand kisses:
mistletoe devours every axil,
sprouting green and pearl
wig-like twiglets.

Hi, I'm Kath. I grew up bilingual on the border between Québec and Ontario, and now live in Toronto, where I manage a videostore. I originally moved here to attend York film school, but after a few years of study, I somehow wandered into a BA in creative writing instead. During my time at York, I also managed to stumble into the President's Prize ( Read more... )
