marleyderosia24 wrote a new blog post Revision Thread!!!! in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 8 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 […]
marleyderosia24 edited the blog post The hyper extension of messiness – a response to Greenberg in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 9 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]
marleyderosia24 wrote a new blog post Songwriting in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 9 months ago

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 […]
marleyderosia24 wrote a new blog post Wholesome Penguin RandomHouse in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 9 months ago

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 […]
marleyderosia24 wrote a new blog post On writing reviews in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 10 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 […]
Marley DeRosia wrote a new blog post Holidays? in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 10 months ago

So how do we feel about writing poems about the holidays? I tried writing a Christmas poem a couple years back because I was just so taken by the Christmas spirit, and it wasn’t too bad, but reading it after the […]
Marley DeRosia wrote a new blog post Line as space, air in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 11 months ago

Can I just say that I’m so excited we’ve finally strayed from lines breaks and white space as a topic of suspense/tension!? I’ve been stuck there for so long, reading every poem I’ve come across as a form of […]
Marley DeRosia edited the blog post (W)Right Side of the Page in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 11 months ago

Okay. So we have the left side of the page, right? That’s where most of our poems start. Martha Rhodes mentions in her essay in A Broken Thing that she tends to stay to the left side of the page in the fear of her writing sounding to wordy or rambling when she begins to stretch to the right. The left side of the page is safe. The left side of the…[Read more]
Marley DeRosia wrote a new blog post Sound Across the Line in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 11 months ago

Reading Annie Finch’s chapter in A Broken Thing titled, “Grails and Legacies: Thoughts on the Line,” reminded me of the first poetry workshop I took while at Geneseo. We studied the poetics of sound and what sound […]
Marley DeRosia wrote a new blog post Revision Techniques in the group The Contemporary Poem: 8 years, 11 months ago

I love the recommendations I get from my peers in Workshop. In regards to my line breaks, I’ve been given suggestions for my specific pieces that really make them into a more cohesive unit; the breaks are lush […]
