jazz

It's a fact!
Jazz is back!
The kids think it is really gone
unless they've got their glasses on.
They jitterbug jive, they bees these knees,
they share their bootleg mp3s.
Clear and present danger? Yeah!
Which is why, after conferring with the Cabinet and Joint Chiefs of Staff
I am declaring a WAR ON JAZZ.

Are you sick of improvisation or just trying to bait Becca with Destoyer references?

WHAT WE DO

Since 2010, Rutgers English PhD students and friends have been writing a poem a day for the month of April as part of NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month).

From the NaPoWriMo official site:

NaPoWriMo was founded in 2003, when poet Maureen Thorson decided to take up the challenge (modeled after NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), and challenged other poets to join her. Since then, the number of participants has gotten larger every year, and many writers’ organizations, local, national and even international, organize NaPoWriMo activities.
