April 3rd: Look Inside a Car Engine

I woke up this morning to the sound of a table saw. My neighbors installing French doors in the back of their house, which my bedroom overlooks. The bedroom where I’d hoped to sip coffee and read the news in much more peaceful conditions. So, what brought me to this video was disgust. Plain hate for our noisy mechanical world. What I found instead: the universe in a cylinder. Holy cow, minute 3:

How Engines Work

How different the world looks up close, in slow motion…

Write on,

Michelle

There are only two weeks left to submit to the Pangaea Prize.

The Pangaea Prize is awarded for the best series of poems ranging between two and up to seven poems in a group. Judging will be based on poems as individual entities as well as their cohesiveness – that can be in terms of common themes, images, narrative or however else you would like to group your poems. All poems must be previously unpublished.  There are no restrictions to length or style. Click here to read last year’s winner, Bon Vivants Hereafter by Greg Emilio.

Submit now. We have already started reading entries and hope to announce a winner by the end of June.

Don’t forget you can follow The Poet’s Billow on Facebook and Twitter.

This following article published by The Huffington Post reminds us what attitudes to take to the page to overcome creative anxiety. Along with William Stafford’s always good advice to “lower our standards,” the article has some other good ideas. A special thanks to poet Steven Blythe for pointing us to this article. Check it out:

You don’t have to be a famous painter or sculptor to sympathize with the pains of creative block. Whether it comes on like a giant smack in the face or creeps up on you like a shiver down your spine, we’ve all dealt with the woes of being stuck. You second guess yourself, you dance around ideas and you feel like progress is miles away, all while the joys of creating take a back seat to the pressures we associate with success.
