Words Belong to All of Us
As a poet I am always looking for a new way to explore text and play with words. A new project for me is creating erasure poetry from magazines. This project came from two origins; 1. That I was lacking inspiration in writing organically and 2. I have a a lot of old magazines laying around. Come along for my process of creating a poem from previously written text.

On Writing Poetry
The Hemingway "6 word story that made a woman cry" bet is fascinating but mostly because it's part of his Babe Ruthian sized mythis. We don't really know if it went down that way or at all truthfully, there's conflicting history and much hearsay on the topic. It may have been added to or pumped up for effect, we are dramatists after all, and some of us are drunk, another legendary Hemingway trait, historically indulgers seem to whip up a lot of tall tales.
