Contest: #kettleshriek

To celebrate the release of my book, In the Kettle, the Shriek, I’m holding a contest.



THE RULES:
1. Read the 8-line poem (the title poem of the book!), found below.

2. Take a photo or short video that somehow responds to a line, word, or idea from the poem.

(For example, the whale in the above video refers to the second line, "In smooth gums, the teeth.")

3. Share the photo or video (through Twitter, Instagram, Vine, or YouTube), with this hashtag: #kettleshriek.

If you post the image/video to your own blog, post the link here in the comments. (Feel free to include the part of the poem you’ve chosen in your post--but you don’t have to.)

You have until midnight, July 12 to share what you create, as many entries as you like.

I’ll pick three to receive a signed copy of the book (I’ll get in touch with you and ask for your address), with special surprises tucked inside (woohoo!). I’ll also feature some of the posts here on The Storialist.


THE POEM:

In the Kettle, the Shriek

In the kettle, the shriek.
In smooth gums, the teeth.

In a heart, the hole.
In the flat page, the fold.

In the skin, the scar.
In quartz or flint or granite, the spark.

In juniper, the gin.
In the shut window, the wind.


***
Happy creating! The video above is my silly example (silly is good).

Some Exciting News!

I have some exciting news to share with you, dearest readers...

Gold Wake Press will be publishing my first collection of poems in October of 2013! I am so thrilled to be working with them. I have found their books to be wonderful in both content and form (things of beauty, truly). I'll be excited to have my title (it'll be In the Kettle, the Shriek) join the ones below (from some amazing authors):

I'm so grateful to be able to share this with you. Thank you for your support, through reading, commenting, and collaborating.

There will be readings, signings, dance-offs, and miniature fireworks along the way--I'll keep you posted throughout the process. Please continue to share your own projects and adventures! I'll be the one holding up the sign that says, "You rule."
