Alright.
As of a drunken 2:11 am on the 18th of September, here's the list I have for the folks actually committed to the challenge, some of whom have already submitted pieces.
sophieloves
champagne (ipso facto)
eluard
ShyErraticTable
MTVM
The Fool
annaswirls
Unbridled Passion
Sapphire O
manipulatrix
sensualquills
bj
anyone else who wants in, just say so. This means you, Sara Crewe.
Random deadline for all submissions is October 1st.
Due to my lack of sanity, I have not really been actively recruiting newbies on the Lit Board to judge the poetry, but I have landed on a Brilliant Plan B. I have already been showing a few random pieces in this thread to People I Know. None of them claim to be poets in any way. I have asked them which pieces make them the most HAWT, which make a strong impression. It seems to be an effective judging mechanism so far. I invite others to do the same; print out the poems, take them to the local bar or wherever, and ask for similar judgment. I'll be interested in your survey results.
I have, unfortunately, landed on an interesting agenda here. If poetry is to be brought Back to Life, Back to The People, this may be one way to do it. Skillful poetry speaks to its audience, and all the craft in the world won't do a writer any good if there is no link to the audience. I'm making the audience for this challenge the Regular People, the ones we claim to want back.
I may yet recruit some newbies. Depends on my level of sanity. I'm not promising anything.
this has been The Show So Far.
