Daily poems in April, aka #NaPoWriMo16
Bloof Books
For the last several years, Bloof Books poets have been posting daily drafts of new (or in progress) work to our blog, in celebration of NaPoWriMo—an official-sounding unofficial celebration of poetry coinciding with the official celebration of National Poetry Month. You can blame Maureen Thorson for this creative chaos. She started the tradition (when “National” jokingly meant only herself) in 2003. (Read an excerpt from Maureen’s latest chapbook at QB here.)
Because we’re posting daily there, we won’t be posting new features at the Quotidian Bee until May 1.
But you are more than welcome to follow along at the Bloof Blog, here.
