Julia Merante wrote a new blog post A Poet Who Inspires Me in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 10 months ago

A poet who constantly inspires me (I think I’ve written about him before — probably. I write A LOT of blog posts, remember?). SO — this poet is Kaveh Akbar, and his collection of poems is Calling A Wolf A Wolf. […]
Julia Merante wrote a new blog post About The Book I Stole… in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 10 months ago

Julia Merante wrote a new blog post Embarking On A New Journey… (Genre) in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 10 months ago

Julia Merante wrote a new blog post Why I Write 11 Blogs A Week in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

I get paid to write. Thank God.

When trying to find a flexible, noble, cool, and paying job on campus — my pickings were slim. Last semester, I came into contact with a GREAT opportunity. It was to be an […]
Julia Merante wrote a new blog post Like Carbon in the group The Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

Carbon is in anything living; it is organic. The pure forms of carbon are either graphite, or diamond. One dark, grainy, breakable; the other being strong, clear, and untouchable.

Our discussion on the organic […]

This is the third week of school, and for me it is my third week of being a Teaching Assistant for Caroline in English 201. It is going well… I think.

On the first day, we went through the syllabus–and that […]
Julia Merante wrote a new blog post My New Favorite Author in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years ago

I encountered my new favorite author (regarding poetry, that is) this past summer. His name is Kaveh Akbar, and he is PHENOMENAL. His book, “Calling A Wolf A Wolf” is one I read time and time again these past few […]
