If you do not want raw feedback on your work, I won't read it.

This is a workshop. I'm not here to be told how pretty I am and I refuse to waste my time with folks who shy away from a free exchange of ideas.

If folks find this insulting, remember, we don't interact. Let's keep it that way.

Here is an interesting article I foudn from the Purdue University Online Writing Lab about imagery in poetry: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/617/01/

I've got some ideas for ways to phrase constructive comments for those times when a reader just doesn't know what to say about a poem. Like my last blog post, this advice comes from a reading about writing centers and tutors from my job. The text isTalk About Writing: The Tutoring Strategies of Experienced Writing Center Tutor by Jo Maciewicz and Isabelle Thompson. 

For a peek into my academic work, and a chance to learn a little more about writing, poetry, or literary studies, have a look at some of the PowerPoint Slideshows I've written over the years! These presenations represent just a fraction of the work I've done. They'll go in chonological order from oldest at the top to newest at the bottom, so you'll even see how I've grown. :) 

Engaging Ideas: The Professor's Guide to Integrating Writing, Critical Thinking, and Active Learning in the Classroom by John C. Bean is a reading I had to reflect on for professional developement at my job at the University Writing Center at ECU. We read the chapter "Responding to Student Writing" and I think a lot of the advice can apply to Neopoet, if we change the nouns from "teachers" and "students" to "writers" and "readers".

I joined Neopoet 10 years ago on the 7th March, 2007.

It has bee joyous, wonderful and privileged experience, full of bubble, stuble, toiland other nasty substances.

I hold two strangely contradictory records here, I have served more in Admin/Advocates/Mentoring etc than anyone else.

And I've bee suspended more than anyone else. My rationalisation is that you need to be a bit outside society, a bad boy, to have the perspective to be a poet. Actually I'm just a very naughty boy.

Hello everyone!

Here is a poetry and inspiration board I have started on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/strangescholar/poetry-and-artistic-inspiration/

I hope you enjoy and please let me know if there are additional resources you would like for me to share. 

Take care,

Kelsey 

Let's all talk about what poetry means
to us individually and makes a poem good
for you.

Sorry about the spammers getting
through, they are beating the system
and hopefully the guys will put the
counter block on them.
I'm trying to keep an eye out for them,

thanks,

Richard
