Is anyone doing interesting play with typography in poems? By which I mean using typography as a tool to create a visual landscape of emotion?

Autobiography in Colors
I was 11. I had a neon orange shirt from The Limited Too and dayglo orange shorts from the same trendy tween store, and I paired them together. I was aware this was an unusual fashion choice, but my goal was to inhabit, inbibe, imbue myself with, and commune with the essense of orange and … Continue reading Autobiography in Colors
A Little Poem – My Novella
The eccentric novella brewing and screwing her way through the sizzling synapses across my brain is hard to catch. Pick up your plot and follow me! The sun over my house judges my unproductive, polychromatic day. Language was my first love.

Quiet Couple of Weeks
A is having a birthday party next weekend! We're giving the kids pizza, cake, and ice cream. I really hope she has a great time and that all the kids can come. I've been exhausted.

Physically, … Continue reading My Poetry Comes in Fits and Starts

How to Be a Writer, an Artist, a Composer, a Dancer etc
Some of what I see in the writer sphere online and the art sphere too is really weird to me. There are articles and books that are titled "I wrote every day for a year. Here's what I learned." Or "I painted every day for a month. Is it beneficial?" Creative things should be done … Continue reading How to Be a Writer, an Artist, a Composer, a Dancer etc
Joy, Nonfiction
Just wanted to say hi. I feel so much joy. I've been praying more, and the Holy Spirit has been speaking to me. I have also been reading a book about creative nonfiction called "Bending Genre." I love it. This book is opening me up to so many possibilities. Docupoetics is one I'm interested in. … Continue reading Joy, Nonfiction
Zines I Want to Write
Lately I have been obsessed with zines. Zines, if you don't know, are small hand-made magazines. Often political, they can also be informational, autobiographical, literary, or filled with visual art. I want to make several zines if I can figure out how to get them out there where people can read. Zine subject ideas include: … Continue reading Zines I Want to Write
