Gabrielle Esposito edited the blog post Storyteller versus Liar in the group Film Talk: 7 years, 6 months ago

“Real life is stranger than fiction” is an applicable quote for Tim Burton’s Big Fish. A large portion of the film is devoted to visualizing the wild tall tales of Edward Bloom. Even though William is against h […]
Gabrielle Esposito edited the blog post Publishing Roulette in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 4 months ago

Publishing is the hardest aspect of writing. Some say it’s editing, while others argue that it’s the writing process itself. But it isn’t. Editing and writing are inside a writer’s control.

After reading TC Tolbert’s “Gephyromania,” I have to say that I feel completely liberated.

In a recent discussion, the impossible question of “What makes good poetry” came up. This question seems to loom in the mind of all writers, both amateur and profession. I’ve often wondered why some literature is […]
Gabrielle Esposito edited the blog post Expiration Date in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 7 months ago

I first began writing when I was fourteen after impulsively signing up for a Creative Writing class offered in my high school. Once the wheels in my head were greased with the thought of creativity, I would spend two to three hours every night scribbling in a journal, or typing on Word. Writing was all-consuming. Writing was what I enjoyed, and…[Read more]
