    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post Reflection on my Creative Writing Major in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 9 months ago

    Have you seen any progress in your work compared to your freshman year?

    I’ve definitely seen a lot of progress in my own work since freshman year. I think back then I was really invested in seeming cool and seeming like my work was at its best. So I would usually submit poems that I thought were really good and didn’t need any work. Of cou…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post A Calling, (could be a response to Emily and Noah below) in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 9 months ago

    “I’m sometimes asked why I chose poetry, and not some other genre. This is a good question. Some poets feel that they do not choose poetry, it chooses them…Poetry, I would argue, is a calling. It is not a job, not a task, not even a career, though some have described it this way—it’s a calling.”

    When I read this quote by Kurt Brown, in his essa…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez wrote a new blog post Writing Exercise: Thread a colorful poem in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 10 months ago

    Write one line describing a a vivid image. It can be vivid in terms of sound, color, touch, or smell. If it helps, think of something absurd, or something you once saw or experienced that has stayed with you […]

    Carolina Fernandez wrote a new blog post What kind of poet are you? in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 10 months ago

    There is a question we must all ask ourselves as poets, even though it might not be a question that begins outright more than it is one that develops as we move through the genre. That is, what kind of poets do we […]

    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post Tarfia Faizullah’s “The Poem You’ve Been Waiting For” in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 11 months ago

    This past week I signed up for daily poems to be sent to my email on behalf of the poetry foundation. It pleases me to wake up with a poem every day because it helps me interact with the poem more closely—and my day begins on a pensive note. Today’s poem was called “The Poem You’ve Been Waiting For,” by  Tarfia Faizullah. The poem is beautiful…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post Can poetry exist without language? in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 11 months ago

    Since we’ve been discussing poetry as it relates to the physical image, I’ve been considering the existence of poetry without language. After all, it seems that art in itself is poetry, as is photography. A new kind of book has emerged in contemporary literature, where we have, in a way, returned to childhood—a book accompanied by a few lines…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post Transcending and learning patience in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 11 months ago

    I am now in a place where I am wondering how I could explore my identity through poetry while at the same time make sure that readers are able to determine the underlying message about the bigger issues happening in the world in regards to human expression and current events. This brings me to the question, how can I weave my exploration of self,…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post Learning About Yourself Through the Image in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 9 years, 12 months ago

    After class on Tuesday I began thinking about the comment one of our classmates made about my poem. Specifically the line “hands folded over bellyfolds.” She said that she interpreted it as a representation of self-consciousness, and that’s what I intended for it to be at the time I wrote the poem. It surprised me how such a direct image was inter…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez edited the blog post Pound’s Essay in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 10 years ago

    Pounds essay was thought provoking. Since I’ve come to understand poetry as more than therapy, I agree with most of his points. I was excited when reading his thoughts about what an image presents: “liberation” and “sudden growth,” because it’s strange to think about either of those treasures as immediate, when so often it seems people search for…[Read more]

    Carolina Fernandez wrote a new post on the site The Contemporary Poem 10 years, 9 months ago

    I noticed a lot of people speaking about fictional poetry and how to create the characters within the poem by thinking about their history or likes/dislikes, etc. I was surprised that so many people in poetry used […]
