I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the Poetic Asides Poem-a-Day Challenge – where you follow writing prompts, leave your poems in the comments, and eventually poems are chosen for an e-anthology. The judges include Dorianne Laux, Mark Doty, Nick Flynn…and me, among others. Anyway, check it out:

Incidentally, I’ve already started – and I’m using the periodic table of elements as my list of prompts. Think I’m kidding?
