Juliana Schicho commented on the post, The Seasons, Sounds and Poetry, on the site The Contemporary Poem 8 years, 12 months ago
I partially categorize music as seasonal due to the atmosphere of the song, though many of the songs I listen to sound the same. (For example, I can’t name one of my favorite songs that ISN’T in a minor key). […]

In the summer, I largely work on costumes with friends because I’m in that group of convention-goers that has no life. While I don’t write for a good portion of the end of May into June, I find that taking my mind […]

I can actually see grass outside, there is (somehow) no snow on the ground, and it’s finally warm outside-
Which, for some reason, means the tone of my poems completely changes. I know this doesn’t only happen […]

I went and read this poem, and definitely felt the same about the strength of the body imagery that was present. I myself never really use body imagery, and a lot of Boruch’s stood out to me- particularly […]

Many times, inspiration can be found simply by looking at other people. Sit down somewhere you can people watch. Pay close attention to other people’s outfits, particularly their shoes. What do their shoes say […]

I often write poems while listening to all kinds of music, and I definitely agree that the process feels faster. I’ve written one or two poems based off photographs before, and I felt like the process was a lot […]

The blank page is the most intimidating part of writing, and most of the time I don’t know where I’m going with a poem before I start it. It’s always been difficult for me to start writing a poem. Usually, I’ll […]

I definitely gained a better sense of what I need to work on as a writer through these exercises. Though sometimes I found myself frustrated by the prompts, I usually found a way through it. The last one in […]

I was recently working on a terza rima for one of the exercises when I came to a realization: rhyming is really damn hard. I am terrible at trying to find rhymes for words without making it sound like Dr. Seuss […]

Juliana Schicho commented on the post, Poem Playlist , on the site The Contemporary Poem 9 years, 6 months ago
I like the choice of music you used in your playlist! I make writing playlists from time to time (too often, really) and I tend to swing towards instrumental music for writing short stories and fiction, and more […]

Juliana Schicho commented on the post, I for One Welcome Our New iPhone Overlords, on the site The Contemporary Poem 9 years, 6 months ago
I love this whole idea of using Quicktype to make poems. I’m still stuck in the stone ages of iOS7, so I haven’t been able to try it yet, but it’s definitely something I would check out. It sort of creeps me […]

I will admit that I struggled finding a poem to do exercise number 8 with. Having never done anything like this exercise before, I wasn’t sure exactly which direction to take it in. I chose Norwood’s poem, […]

Upon reading Hairston’s poem in the reader, I began to wonder how density plays into poetry. I know that I rushed through this poem, particularly because of the lack of spaces or line breaks, but sometimes when […]

I find it funny that people are posting about poetry in their childhood, as I was thinking about which poems really stood out to me when I was young. I own every book of Shel Silverstein’s poetry, and I remember […]

One thing that always made me wonder about poetry is why we were never taught modern poetry in school. My only real exposure to poetry throughout both elementary and high school was much older. Shakespeare, […]
