An Interview with Jeff Whitcher, author of Snoop Come Home: A parody.

Snoop, Come Home Childhood Nostalgia Just Got Smoked Every now and then, a book comes along that feels like a dare—and Snoop, Come Home accepts it with glee. This riotous parody by Jeff Whitcher drops Snoop Dogg into the pastel-colored universe of Peanuts and watches the chaos unfold. From the first panel, it’s clear this isn’t just a novelty joke. Instead, it’s a lovingly constructed satire that…

Cinquain Poetry Prompt 5: FIERCE is your inspiration.

You don’t have to use the word in your poem, you can just use it as inspiration. Yes, there is kind of a way of the madness of the poetry form, but you really just use the structure to create what you want in order to get your message across. There are examples of Adelaide Crapsey’s work below. She’s the one who created this style. The Cinquain or more specifically the American Cinquain. My…

An Interview with Laurel Osterkamp, author of The Side Project.

When life doesn’t go as planned, sometimes you have to rewrite the narrative. In The Side Project, Laurel Osterkamp explores how people evolve—and how the stories they cling to can either hold them back or set them free. Rylee never imagined she’d still be in Bemidji, Minnesota, years after high school, caring for her younger brother and working dead-end jobs. Carson was supposed to have the…

An Interview with Anne Shaw Heinric, author of Violet is Blue.

When she makes a new friend in school, Jules Marks, who lives on the “other side of the tracks” with his five little sisters, she is introduced to a dark world of self-abuse. As Violet learns about Jules and his shifty mother, Lee, she retreats…

The American Style Cinquain made easy.

I’ve written a couple or more posts recently on how to write an American style cinquain developed by Adelaide Crapsey. But… sometimes I can get a bit wordy. So, let’s get unwordy. If you like Haiku, which this blog has a history of, you’ll like the cinquain. It’s 5 lines with a syllable structure of 2/4/6/8/2. This isn’t by accident. Adelaide was a fan of haiku. Here is an example of an American…
