    Literature cannot exist in a vacuum. Everything which is written and put out into the world is a product of a history of other works; it comments on, and is shaped by the culture and context which created. I’ve b […]

    K. Olivia Cockerham edited the blog post So you want me to write a Villanelle: Sylvia Plath’s “Mad Girl’s Love Song” and other obsessive verses in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

    Looking through the feedback I received in my last workshop, no less than three people made note that they’d be interested to see me write a villanelle. I will be honest, before being reminded of the form when w […]

    K. Olivia Cockerham edited the blog post Poetry, community in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 7 years, 11 months ago

    I’m a talker; I like to talk. I’m also a fan of thinking out loud, discovering thoughts and ideas as I say them —  very often it feels like the space between a thought and the words hanging in the air are indist […]

    K. Olivia Cockerham wrote a new blog post What to workshop: the dead-end poem in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 8 years ago

    Being in the first round of workshops, I’ve spent the week picking through this summer’s sparse drafts, trying to decide if it is disingenuous to try and spruce one up just a few days in advance.

    K. Olivia Cockerham wrote a new blog post Please, Frankenstein was my father…. in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 9 months ago

    I’ve been thinking about my last workshop piece. It felt like two poems stitched together, and that’s because it was. I lean heavily on certain aesthetics and imagery we all already know I have a soft spot for […]

    K. Olivia Cockerham edited the blog post I think you all should know that I’ve been plundering your poems in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 9 months ago

    As you all know, our class shares a folder via Google Drive, and cached within are our writing exercises, all neatly tucked away in folders labeled with each poet’s name. Of course the point of all this is to share our work, so on some level it’s obvious – any one of you is free to see what I’ve been writing, and vice versa.

    K. Olivia Cockerham wrote a new blog post Empty emails and blank word documents in the group Group logo of The Contemporary PoemThe Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 9 months ago

    At twenty-one years old I’ve yet to send a single email that took me less than fifteen minutes to write.

    After shooting off a careless email (because I’m tired and I have things to do) I sit, bleary eyed and […]
