Reading Poem A Day
A reading project, read one poem a day. The basic rules are…
Loose: Read new poets
Loose: Read diversely, this is less of a rule and more of an underpinning or assumption. There doesn’t seem much point otherwise.
Firm: Favourite poems don’t count. Favourite poets may, however.
Firm: One month block on the following:
- Anthologies
- Chapbooks
- Collections
- Periodicals and
- Poets
So if I pull something by Norman McCaig out of “The Rattle Bag” tomorrow, I can neither read Norman McCaig nor “The Rattle Bag” until after Feb 2.
A record of me reading Skyborn, which is about the silver DC-9 that flies around my house.
