Lorraine for your comments...Thanks Henrietta and K. Lorraine for your comments! I will go over and check out your posts, KL! I am not necessarily posting a poem everyday. but am writing one. I did post a poem for April 2nd to0, though, a very different voiced thing, up at rewords.http://rewords.blogspot.fr/2012/04/who-by-jkd.html <br /><br />As for the blue.... that blue is for links, but I will see what I can do about tweaking it. Click on the blue and you are transported elsewhere in cyberland.<br /><br />I will also look at your writings and bloggings, Henrietta! So glad you are writing and full time, too!<br />--JenJennifer K Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819275106754521715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28949614.post-82793884367051692802012-04-02T08:31:53.862-07:002012-04-02T08:31:53.862-07:00Hi Jennifer,

I admire your 30 poems in 30 days project, quite an undertaking, which I will follow with pleasure. Thanks<br />Henrietta Richer (Guay)<br />P.S. I find the authors etc names in blue on your page difficult to read, but maybe that's my old eyes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01970180282164358185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28949614.post-22791507321928319512012-04-01T16:33:12.532-07:002012-04-01T16:33:12.532-07:00I enjoyed reading this first installment.

YES!" <br /><br />To which I replied that I too think the point of this April poem a day writing in a semi-public sphere (with all that draft posting can have of stripping naked in front of a bunch of people you may never see again) is to awaken a willingness to throw myself into the different kinds of poems that may emerge on a daily basis and their hit and missnesses and to seek out something in the process of making language into something in the world instead of leaving it dormant under a doorstep. <br /><br />As for the poem I put up publicly here, I think of it neither as hit nor miss, just as a kind of starting line, a place of beginning the month, even though perhaps it is a miss, not a hit--it just somehow seemed an honest way to begin the month of poems--not on my own terms, in my entirely own voice and vocab, but on the terms of poetry and a poem as dialogue, as hearing another's music (that of George Vance) and seeing where that music might resonate in me. For me, also, I liked that Persephone came to mind. spring. looked under or waking up. to emerge, sprout, spring into the air exposed.Jennifer K Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14819275106754521715noreply@blogger.com
