marleyderosia24 wrote a new blog post Revision Thread!!!! in the group The Contemporary Poem: 6 years, 3 months ago
I thought this would be a great way to get some cool tips and tricks out there for revision!
We know the usual ways of revising: sitting down in a cute coffee shop and crying into a latte is my go-to. But […]

Tell that to my use of semi-colons.

marleyderosia24 commented on the post, Please, Frankenstein was my father…., on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 3 months ago
My usual go-to for struggling with a monster poem is to take the best lines/phrases from it and scrap the rest. There are always going to be lines that hit harder, phrases that stand out more than the others. I […]

marleyderosia24 edited the blog post The hyper extension of messiness – a response to Greenberg in the group The Contemporary Poem: 6 years, 4 months ago
I love the idea of a hyperextended line. From the Greenberg reading in A Broken Thing, I gathered that the hyperextended line exists in a place of building: being that a line’s train of thought will continue over two or more lines either to add meaning or build upon what was previously said; a collection of thought separated into lines that break…[Read more]

Have any of you ever tried writing songs?
I’ve tried in the past but it always ends up leading to a really cool poem even though some might argue that they’re the same medium. My problem comes with the classic […]

Haha, I feel. This review project has been going…interestingly. I basically have 9 books of poetry I need to read through! (Not that I’m sad to do it!)

Hi guys!
I came across this cute lil quiz from Penguin and I wanted to share. It tells you what punctuation mark you are and gives you a book recommendation for kicks (or for their sales, whatever). Anyway, I […]

I think the best way to change it up is to ask how you would say it. There are a million different ways that a line can be read. I think the content around it has to lead us in a direction that invokes a specific […]

marleyderosia24 commented on the post, What do we owe our writing prompts?, on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 4 months ago
That’s why I like games so much! A game lets you write down goofy stuff without worrying about whether or not it’s worthy – you just write stuff down and hope it sticks!
Try playing games with your friends! […]

marleyderosia24 commented on the post, On writing reviews, on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 4 months ago
I guess I’m just worried because I feel like I might overlook important parts of the piece and say, damn, I wish I said that! Or I focus on the themes too much and forget about the syntax. We need to analyze both […]

Firstly, this was a really well-thought-out post. It brought up a lot of important issues regarding the politicism of art, something that we were recently talking about in class; does our art need to be a […]

marleyderosia24 wrote a new blog post On writing reviews in the group The Contemporary Poem: 6 years, 4 months ago
So, now is about the time we get to writing reviews in class. It’s pretty cool that we’ll be able to read an entire collection of poetry and give it our harsh opinions. It’s like the workshop event of published […]

DON’T BURN THEM.
This is the kind of stuff you’ll look back on and laugh about in 5 years, but you’ll have some wonderful lines that’ll get lost to the flame. Sometimes you need to write about your immediate […] -
marleyderosia24 commented on the post, How do you define a poem?, on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 4 months ago
LIFE IS MEANINGLESS AND NOTHING MATTERS.
NOTHING IS POETRY.
EVERYTHING IS POETRY.
GO WRITE. -
marleyderosia24 commented on the post, Where to begin?, on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 4 months ago
Hey!!!
I find that, when it comes to sound, working on ideas first are the most important. I usually start my poems with an image in mind, and the very first draft revolves around literally getting it on […]

marleyderosia24 commented on the post, my old poems belong on MySpace (& other musings), on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 5 months ago
It’s funny; I wrote the same reply to Rachel’s blog post from the 21st the other day. Look at it this way; is anything ever really complete? Yeats went back and revised and republished old poems. Stephen King […]

Let’s fight: you, me, 6:15 after class.
But really, I think you have a point. Chrissy’s mention of all of us being “disaffected teens” hits it pretty well on the head, but we have to note the different mediums […]

Hey Rachel!
One of the most heart-wrenching realizations as a writer and editor is that I can never read a work without wanting to improve it. I totally feel you in that regard. But, we have to remember that […]

Marley DeRosia commented on the post, Holidays?, on the site The Contemporary Poem 6 years, 5 months ago
That’s a good point. Have you ever written a poem about a holiday? The last one I tried to write about (I think it was two years ago??) dealt with a not-so-great relationship. I’d be happy to share if you want to read it haha
