9er

I was trying to feel hope-
ful about the future but
wound up calling the present
“the pervatory I live
in” which is to say I’m a
woman alone most of the
time I’m anything at all

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.
