Olive Jazz Day 2 & Goals

Hello Poetteers,

Today is day two of OLIVE JAZZ!! The prompt is a little simpler than yesterday's: Write about family vs friend.

Family vs. Friend

Family is someone
that always stays
while friends come and go
Family is those who understand
the craziness of your family
yet friends give you
an outsider view
on how to deal with family

Family is back home
where all the extended members
live in the same house
or at least the same street

Friends are those
who live near by
become your family
when you don't have one.

P.S. A group of girls are hosting a writer recharge this month and I'm joining in. My goals are to revise a page a day for MAYBE LOVING YOU. Write 6 days a week. You can check in at #WriterRecharge.

Love and thank you, Fida

Book Tour: Timeless by Crystal Collier

Hello Poetteers, Let's welcome Crystal Collier here today to share her brand new book!

In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from becoming. In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline. As Alexia fights this new threat—along with an unfathomable evil and her own heart—the Soulless genesis nears. But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission. Can Alexia escape her own cloc...

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more. Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler. Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more. Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more. Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
