“What is GloPoWriMo?”
April is Global Poetry Writing Month. From the National Poetry Writing Month website, they describe this month as “a space to reflect on the past while moving with optimism into the future”.
“How does it work?
Easy-peasy.
Every day for the month of April, you write a poem. You can write poems based on prompts or based on things around you.
You can choose to publish these poems or you can write them in your diary, then burn them. Do whatever you would like with them! It is all about the act of creating.
I won’t be sharing mine publicly, but I have decided to take advantage of this exciting opportunity. Each Sunday in April, I will feature a poet I know and share their poetry.
| Dlvan Zirak | Week 1 | April 4, 2021 |
| Brandan T.C. McCarty | Week 2 | April 11, 2021 |
| Lowkey | Week 3 | April 18, 2021 |
| Carlene Gist | Week 4 | April 25, 2021 |
Plus, a surprise bonus poet later today! Be sure to check back to see their interview and poem.
So, will you be joining us in April for Global Poetry Writing Month? I would love to read what you write!
