Tamyka Bell, this is such a great idea. I have a big unorganized folder on my desktop called “poems” but my brain kinda hurts just looking at it. I really love your spreadsheet approach and I may try it myself.

Thank you for featuring all of these wonderful collaborations/collections this week! They were all such wonderful reads and it always fills me with joy to see such a caring and creative community at work. I am so looking forward to seeing where you and Andy Meyer take Chalkboard. It is such an amazing idea. I think poets sometimes tend to be lone wolves so this provides a great opportunity for us to break out of our shell a little bit and experience the magic of synergy.

Thank you also for mentioning my Serial Killer series. I have to say that I originally meant for it to be a stand alone poem, but after receiving such a great response and after Dennis Hatfield gave the character a name (thank you, Dennis!), I decided I needed to continue. I tend to get a little creepy in my fiction and not so much in my poetry but, since this was a hybrid, I decided to run with it.

By the way, Rose just looks so happy in this photo! I love it!
