APRIL 2014

It’s National Poetry Month, and usually my year in reviews are all about the glory of writing daily in April, but because I’ve so far written a poem every day in the year, everything feels a little different. In an attempt to still contribute and inspire my fellow poets, I decide to post a poetry prompt per day at my Facebook Author Page (which I finally conceded to make). The days lessen their cruelness so I spend a lot of time exploring New York: picnics in the park, visiting the Greenwood Cemetery, The Brooklyn Flea, biking to Queens with Miley, going to poetry shows in Manhattan again, writing outdoors, and generally thinking that like is OK and has a candy center. I chose this photo because I was wearing very dark lipstick and brooding in a cemetery and that just feels like what should be done in National Poetry Month - right?

Other Highlights: 

-Seeing the Swoon exhibit at The Brooklyn Museum
-Hanging out with April Ranger as much as possible and the fact that she wears gloves to our picnic. Also she lent me The Gold Cell by Sharon Olds which did huge things for me. 
-My brother’s birthday.
-The video for What the Hour Hand said to the Minute Hand released into the beautiful world!
