Talking to Erica Jong

On the phone 😀 We talked about copyrights, family members, writing, social media and politics.

The poetry prompt over at Poetry Pasta for today is YES, the title of Erica’s new poetry book is The World Begins With Yes. Time to write a poem.

Friday poetry prompt

Next month, I’m going to be the guest on The Power of Poetics blogtalk show 🙂  You can hear a previous show here:

I’ve been thinking about this since I got the email earlier this week.  I encourage all the readers and lurkers here to call into a poetry show.  You can just listen or you could read a poem 🙂  There’s no magic here. Just persistence, submitting and putting your words out there, which can be scary, but ultimately could be a good thing.

FRIDAY POETRY PROMPT:  Write a poem about a memorable telephone call you made or received.
