david’s post on lyrics reminded me of something i realized a little while ago: i think much of my love of music with good lyrics has fed my love of poetry and vice versa. i think there can be distinctions between what makes good song lyrics and what makes good poetry (koo and i had [...]

Honestly, there are few songs out there that can move you with words alone, without relying on the sound of those words.

On the debate about three poem a year writing (I actually forget the term used right now…) and unfiltered creation:““They think I’m crazy,” 50 told MTV about Eminem and label heads. “Sometimes [Em] misses why I put it out.

I have a question: is it possible to write a poem, or any work of literature, without using a narrator? That is, without using the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person! Think about the idea for a little bit before your make any final conclusions. Just think about it as a puzzle: how would you write [...]

The hookah is an amazing social device. This week, I give props to the person who invented it.
I just want to take a few brie minutes to go back to our dwellings on the sun, that big yellow center of our pointed discussion last week. I think that one of the most interesting aspects of [...]
