List: Site Informational Columns

This is the list for AP informational columns that I have written to be helpful for members of AP

  • I get a lot of questions from New Members on what trading reads are. Here is my response
  • I get asked a lot by members on how to get reads on their poems. Some are new members and some know how to use the featured and spotlight and reward but still aren't getting the reads they want. So here is my answer for all of them.
  • Memberships have grown considerably in features. Therefore I thought it best to do a column on what each membership entails. You can also find comparisons on benefits of each of these memberships in the Store. You can reach the store by clicking the tab located at the top of your screen.

  • How to Create and Judge a Contest by Amunet Wolfbane
    A column written by Amunet Wolfbane
  • Dirty Pretty breaks down by structure and theme
    Themes are surrealist
    -emotions embody objects I have been studying this
    structure and observed the following deviations
    The format should add to the reader's understanding of the poem
    dirty pretty started with charcoal on skin
    hieroglyphics spaced to tell a story

    DIRTY PRETTY utilizes calligraphy
    It presents a poem by

    *non-alpha numeric Characters,
    *non-uniform Capitalization
    *spacing (use   to create blank spaces)
    to shape poetry, to add pause and/or denote line hierarchy
    *alternative spellings
    *and other deviations (color ...)

    to visually impact how the poem is seen and digested.


    Here is a poem a wrote with these structures

    I’m the glasscutter.
    With a di(A)mond wheel   g_l_i_d_i_n_g   in Oil,
    a single stroke   /  
    opens a fissure ----------

    I gently Tap beside the line
                    deepening the grooVe
    until with a ~twist of the wrists~
      I separate   /  
    the glass as planned.


    rhyme and rhythm help me keep reading through a long piece

    decoration can mark passages
    allowing me to approach the poem from more than one direction

    -image detail encroaches towards tactile familiarity
    these encroachments sometimes crawl into the structure
    trying to burst through the page to make a connection
