why this blog

Yet once more, O ye Laurels, and once more
Ye Myrtles brown, with Ivy never-sear,
I come to pluck your Berries harsh and crude,
And with forc'd fingers rude,
Shatter your leaves before the mellowing year.

This blog is for my budding interest in collage poetry. The name of the blog comes from the opening of Milton's Lycidas.

Forced. Collage poetry forces the composer into a tighter form.

Fingers. I suppose all writing requires the use of fingers but collage has a particularly tactile component.

Rude. Destroying and reading against the author's text that he or she so carefully wrote.

Shatter. Cutting the text.

Leaves. Of books.

Before the mellowing year. This fall I am going to be attending graduate school and hope to continue with my collage poems in more depth. Before then I hope to accumulate a good number of poems so I have a good sense of direction by then.

I consider this a workshop blog--a place to show all my mistakes and reflect critically on my work. Advice, comments, questions are always very welcome.
