Graecellen's Ephemera

The things I like, or have liked, or am the only one who likes, or may hate someday, or may continue to like or may ultimately abandon.

So You Think You Know the Romantic Poets? Test Yourself.

So You Think You Know the Romantic Poets? Test Yourself.

I’m been reading Romantic poetry in preparation for a class I’m taking this summer. Can you tell the major Romantic poets apart just on the basis of their poetic style? True confession: had I not been the one to put this little quiz together, I couldn’t pass it even with all the reading I’ve been doing.  Just for fun, see if you can match the lines of poetry just on the basis of style with the…

The Making of a Poetry Manuscript I was thinking about how convoluted my process is for my new poetry manuscript; although, I kind of feel like it makes me pay more attention. I drew it out to show someone and thought I'd share. I've written and edited all the poems on my iPad and iPad Pro, in Apple's Pages. I then save a copy in a .docx version in DropBox. Then I open Dropbox from my desktop and move all the poems one by one as I'm ready for them into Word on the Desktop. All the compilation and most of the serious editing is done on the desktop. The poems get moved around too, but they're probably 80-95% ready once they get put into the manuscript format. I then save a copy of the manuscript back to DropBox. It's also saved in two directories on my desktop computer and backed up onto an external drive. I often review the manuscript on my iPhone or on my iPad using Dropbox. Dropbox always has the latest version and there are three other versions saved elsewhere. #thestruggleisreal. What's your approach?

A Riff on Elizabeth Bishop’s poem, “One Art”

A Riff on Elizabeth Bishop’s poem, “One Art”

In late December, a string of rejections coupled with the endless gray days of the Midwestern sky, caused me to stop writing altogether during January and most of February. I felt uninspired, and even though I can usually pull myself through a slump pretty easily, I’ve struggled this time.

A friend of mine decided that rather than doing one big annual New Year’s Resolution, she would do a series…

One of my favorite pictures from Israel. In the old city of Jerusalem. This is my friend, Soaad. We had a nice long chat online today. Oh, how I miss her and her family!

What do you do when you feel 100% uninspired? It doesn't happen often but at this moment, that's how I feel.
