Slushpile Musings: What do I look for in poetry?
http://noneuclideancafe.blogspot.com/2007/07/what-do-i-look-for-in-poetry.html
Some things I've noticed in the 2 1/2 years I've been reading the Noneuclidean Cafe slushpile. Friday, July 13, 2007. What do I look for in poetry? Periodically I’m asked what I look for in poetry. In the poems that excite me, all the elements I talk about below work together to produce something greater than the sum of its parts. So these elements are meant only as a starting place. Hopefully they will suggest some useful things to think about when revising a poem. This section overlaps with the last se...

Slushpile Musings: Exposition
http://noneuclideancafe.blogspot.com/2007/06/exposition.html
Some things I've noticed in the 2 1/2 years I've been reading the Noneuclidean Cafe slushpile. Friday, June 22, 2007. One challenge in fiction is providing the reader with the background information he/she needs to understand the story, without. Making the reader feel like the story has come to a grinding halt while you convey that info. This challenge is particularly stringent in short stories, where there is such a high premium on compression. I see stories with openings structured like this:. Often, a...

Slushpile Musings: July 2007
http://noneuclideancafe.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Some things I've noticed in the 2 1/2 years I've been reading the Noneuclidean Cafe slushpile. Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Working with Meter and Rhyme. I mentioned at the end of the last post I'd save meter and rhyme for a separate entry. So I wanted to come back and offer some thoughts on what to watch out for when working with meter and/or rhyme. The single biggest problem I see in metrical poetry is that it's too regular, and over-regular meter tends towards a sing-song quality:. A poem lovely as a tree.

It's a Bear's Life: November 2004
http://bearslife.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
It's a Bear's Life. The Life and Times of an anarcho-syndicalist group of Bears, formerly of Manhattan, now living in Canadia. Monday, November 29, 2004. We aren't at all sure that we like the idea of this place Build-a-Bear Wooshoo. Or this place Build-a-Soybean Wooshoo. What makes the mad scientoo types who must frequent such places think they can capture the ephemeroo qualitoo of animoo, and create a look look from base materials and a hose blowing fluff into them?

Slushpile Musings: Genre and Theme
http://noneuclideancafe.blogspot.com/2007/06/genre-and-theme.html
Some things I've noticed in the 2 1/2 years I've been reading the Noneuclidean Cafe slushpile. Wednesday, June 13, 2007. Some quick thoughts on genre and theme. The following are not (at all) meant as rules about which genres should be used to explore what thematic material. Different genres have been used to explore a wide range of themes. That said, certain genres do lend themselves to exploring certain questions, and some of those combinations are noted. How did they do it? Posted by Jim at 1:06 PM.
