Creation and Order. Yes.

6/7/2015

So I was bouncing around on the Red Bird Chapbooks site and look what I found. "Thirteen Ways of Looking at the Poetry Manuscript: Some Ideas on Creation and Order," by Jeffrey Levine, editor in chief of Tupelo Press.

All of these creative, beautiful words and ideas about how to create a manuscript. Check it out. See what rings true and let me know. Thanks for all of your creative work!

I saw Jeffrey Levine speak at AWP here in Minneapolis in April (2015). He was on a panel giving editors' tips to writers. He had excellent tips, and made some great points. He was honest and straightforward. One of the tips he gave that has stayed with me is this, "There is a home for a lot of writing. And your job as a writer is to find that home. How you do that is by reading." Gotta respect that.

Yup. Onus is on us to do the research. Which is fun and onerous (!) at the same time. Thanks for your words, Linda.
