St. Lawrence Area Poets

That's right, we want to see some bad poetry this Tuesday.  That's the assignment, to write a bad poem or to fix a bad poem, yours or somebody else's.  Sounds like a goofy assignment, but if you think about it, by mending a poor or broken poem, you've got to analyze every aspect of it: the words & the relationship between the words, the line breaks, the rhymes (if any), & the sense of it.  Then you've got to know just why the changes you've made are not mere changes but actual improvements.  So anyway, go to it!

And as a reminder, the next SLAP meeting will be held Tuesday, January 12th, at the UU Church in Canton.  Go through the big red doors on the side & continue on up the stairs to the left.  That's 6:30.  We're working on a few possibilities for upcoming readings.  Anyone who has an idea for a future poetry event, please speak up.  We're always looking for new territory & new audiences. 

Interested in publishing your poems in a local magazine?  Send an e-mail to Kourtnee at Fourth Coast Entertainment Magazine at fourthcoast@twcny.rr.com.  

That's it until next week.  See you guys on Tuesday.  Get busy on those lousy poems!
