WUW and Day 8

I'm still reading THE PROPHET. I did finish reading BONE, NEJMA and SALT. All of them were prose and poetry books, all were inspiring.

I also read an ARC of The Evolution of Emily. It comes out in November. I'll be posting my review closer to the release date.

I'm doing OctPoWriMo. I'm using it for both writing practice and to get an idea of the plot for my NaNoWriMo story:

Like the moon
pulls the tide
Seeing something
triggers my memory
pulls me into nostalgia;

People say
the full moon has powers
I don't see that
I do see
it marks my calendar;

Whether or not
the moon has powers
it pulls the tide
it casts beautiful lining
in the clouds
illuminating the sky and earth
in twilight.


Love, Fida

I didn't know there was an OctPoWriMo! How cool! Is the goal to post a poem a day?

Yes and in last week's post I left a link to the prompts.

I have never been a huge poetry writer, but I am taking a fiction writing class and they said writing poetry can help you with imagery in a scene. I guess it's time for me to learn! Your poem is great!
That was beautiful! Wish I had kept writing poetry, but I can't now, I'm so in love with reading and reviewing books that everything else will have to wait. Good luck with OctPoWriMo! ;)

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...
