So after finding this and mulling it over... I'm starting to work on making a collection. Don't know if its going to be a pamphlet or a full book but I want to reprise the old collection and add some newer work to it as well.
Let's see if I can finish up 'Dagurreotype' by year's end.

I stumbled on a collection of poems I self-published in my early twenties the other night and it is remarkable how much I've grown since then.
Just went through one of the pieces and rewrote and... the difference in direction and in style is so stark I can't believe I wrote both poems.

I'm meant to be doing a kind of queer book club through Pride month but the first book was so incredibly bad that I'm questioning whether to keep going with it honestly

Day 30 - We will finish as we began - with a Sijo. But I want you to write one that reflects on one of the poems you have written so far this month. I hope you had a fun month and got some good new drafts out of this!

Day 20 - Write a poem that starts with a tree. Think about what season you want it to be and thus what it looks like (are there leaves/blossom/bare branches)? Think about where you are in relation to it. See where it takes you.
