NaPoWriMo 2024!

It's April again, and it's another opportunity to stretch and challenge myself to write or unearth a poem each day.

In Canada, the League of Canadian Poets has chosen weather as their theme, inviting us to "delve into the experiences, feelings, and inspiration that weather offers."

In the United States, the Academy of American Poets doesn't expressly have a theme but aims to celebrate "poets’ integral role in our culture and that poetry matters."



There are, of course, others attempting this challenge, and you can find a global listing of participants at NaPoWriMo.

I haven't yet decided whether I will attempt to write a poem each day from scratch or try some more erasure/ extraction poems -- or perhaps even try some #vispo experiments!

In any case, please follow along, make suggestions, offer critique, share...
