6:03 / John Connor talks Writing and Publishing
Переглядів 4День тому
Two fountain pens and specific paper to encourage creativity. Computer systems like Linux as best tools. In a wide-ranging interview with everything from fonts to covers, John Connor with the UK press Murderous Ink shares it all. A connectivity glitch smack in the middle of the interview didn’t derail Connor. We continued on, with manuscript format and the concerns of publishers about document ...

Celebrate Thanksgiving

The Write Focus wishes you a Happy Thanksgiving week ~ full of rich holiday food, joyous time with people we love, awkward encounters with other people, and a money blast on Black Friday-which usually extends to Cyber Monday. This episode doesn’t fit with our Fall into Poetry series ~ although it does gift you with poems stuffed with thanks-and not so stuffed. No analysis or advice to writers, ...
5:46 / Fall into Poetry / Writing Dark and Bright
Переглядів 132 місяці тому
When we live our life in the present, being in the moment, we can develop a love-hate relationship with people and things we encounter daily. We don’t “love to hate” these; we love them at some times while at other times we hate them. We may happily encounter and deal with them, then on a day not too far away, we groan and say, “Not today, please, not today.” That contradiction, that contrarine...
5:44 / Fall into Poetry / Deceptive Monsters
Переглядів 82 місяці тому
Monsters of all sorts inhabit literature, for they crowd into people’s consciousness whenever we face trials and tribulations. The unnatural monsters, goy and terrifying, gorging themselves without mercy or conscience, these are our nightmares, rarely encountered. The deceptive monsters, the ones that camouflage who and what they are, still gorging themselves, relishing each victim, these inhab...
5:43 / Fall into Poetry / Unexpected Monsters
Переглядів 43 місяці тому
Love. Betrayal. Death. Those subjects we discussed in our story-song and in other recent poems, including Christina Rossetti’s particular version of false love and twisted betrayal-Lust that isn’t love, summer friends abandoning her in her self-exile, her false love leaving her to face her trouble alone. When we’ve endured betrayal, our memories of that traitors are as a monster. Monsters need ...
5:42 / Fall into Poetry / Rossetti's 3 Cold Poems
Переглядів 73 місяці тому
October is a month of changes, of transitions, anticipation of the colors even as summer gives us a few reminders of his warmth. And October ends with All Hallow’s Eve, the evening before a holy day ~ a time of riotous revelry by the forces defiant against God, Father, Creator, Savior. Creeping upon me with the early chill of October mornings was the realization that Christina Rossett should be...
5:41 / Fall into Poetry / Dances of October
Переглядів 33 місяці тому
We have a theme of Dances of October for this episode ~ although one of our two poems doesn’t mention dancing and the other doesn’t mention October. How are we connecting these two works to that theme? Well, my brain said “Put them together”, and here we are. The first poem is by African-American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar. He’s barely anthologized anymore, but that doesn’t mean he should be neg...
5:40 / Fall into Poetry / Two Autumn Poems
Переглядів 153 місяці тому
What sparks a love of poetry? * The highbrow puzzles of e.e. cummings or the imagism of Ezra Pound. * The lyrical music of John Keats or Christina Rossetti. * The logical jumps and intellectual gymnastics of the metaphysical poets. * The gimmick that marks Ferlinghetti. * The emotions that lurk in a Longfellow sonnet. *The intriguing story-songs that we just examined last month. None of the abo...
5:39 / Fall into Poetry / Strawberry Wine
Переглядів 34 місяці тому
Wine is heady stuff. A simple goblet of wine relaxes us; a mega-pint or a bottle can tip us into trouble. Do you prefer the creamy full-body of a fine cabernet or the bite of a sauvignon blanc? Perhaps a medium red like a spicy Zinfandel or a lighter Riesling? Or a fruiter, sweet-forward wine, like a strawberry wine? Homemade, requiring only fresh strawberries, sugar, yeast, and water? Hi, ever...

You should put Lester Dent in your video title. I was searching for this topic a few weeks ago and YT just showed me this in my recommended videos.
That’s a great suggestion. I’ll do that.
Good luck with the channel
