Patricia Smith for Inaugural Poet
Posted by John on Friday, November 14, 2008 (03:39:13)
I just nominated Patricia Smith for Inaugural Poet and I hope you do the same. You can peep over Ms Smith's bio page to see her very impressive writing and performance credentials. But in my mind, what really distinguishes Patricia over any other candidate and makes her the best choice for Inaugural Poet is her love for the people and ideals of Chicago, the President-elect's home base. Chi-town, represent! You can nominate Patricia (or your favorite poet) over at the Office of the President-elect's official website contact page. [Mad props to Emily for coming up with the idea first in her blog.]

GotPoetry is looking for writers and one motivated person
Posted by John on Friday, October 05, 2007 (19:01:09)
Anyone want to help run an online poetry community? We are looking for 1 person who will be highly motivated to work on content.
I also need more regular columnists to augment the great columnists that we have now who are not so regular...
If you're a writer and always wanted one of those popular blogs, we can help you. With GotPoetry's audience and marketing tools you will eventually have a whole lot of readers. You just have to be consistent and regular in your postings. You don't have to write about poetry either.

Does spiritual poetry interest you? Do you yearn to know more about the works of the world's greatest spiritual poets and poet seers of all times? For example, does the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke interest you? How about Rumi, Ramana Maharshi, Meister Eckhart or Thomas Merton?

Author Seeks YOUR Help to Combat Illiteracy
Posted by John on Friday, May 18, 2007 (13:02:47)
This showed up in the GotPoetry mailbox this morning. It's not strictly about poetry, but it is a heartfelt request for help from a former schoolteacher and author. It doesn't take much to help - just send a book or two or three.
My own suggestion? Send poetry, people. Got a few copies of your latest (or older) chapbook hanging around? Poetry has a lot to say to these kids - get it to them and help support Bertrand Brown's efforts to promote literacy in his neck of the woods - and turn a few kids on to the wonder that is poetry today.
| Quote: |
| In Greensboro, N.Carolina where I now reside the drop-out rate is an incredible fifty percent and I see little improvement as the school year ends. I am therefore, in the process of setting up a library to go along with the reading program we've already established with the hopes of increasing their literacy and enabling them to be more productive citizens. Our concentration is primarily with juniors and seniors in high school and I am only hoping that you can aid me in my endeavors by donating a few books. |
May 17, 2007
Dear Friend,
This is Bertrand E. Brown author of the novel The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter. And although I would love your support and hope that everyone purchases a copy of my new novel that is not why I am here today.
