What I really loved about this piece was the humor and where it came from. This author has obviously experienced first hand what she writes about in this piece.
I summarized this as a how-to piece using past experiences to explain to new writers what the publishing business is like. I love the approach used in writing this piece. I have not written and probably will not write poetry, but I assume the publishing business is very similar for any genre.
I'm finding that what I am trying to say about this piece is hard to put into words but I'll try. The author puts us into her shoes as she goes through her journey of being a poet.
As I said before, I love the humor she writes into this piece. There are quite a few passages that I really enjoyed and the images that come along with parts of the piece were hilarious.
I may try to write again about this later. For now this I what I feel the reasons may be for publishing this piece.
Yes, I think what Addonizio writes about applies to all writers trying to get started. What do you think of the idea of writers stealing the secrets of family members and friends?
ReplyDeleteI definitely took this piece as that you can apply a lot of what she says to any type of writing, not just poetry. I would definitely use some of what she says in this and use it for my own writing. And I agree, I also really got a kick out of the humor she used. :)
