I write heavily, wherever these dictations come from (Jack Spicer defining "dictation" in his Vancouver Lectures), and always seek to give back to the community. I live in Kansas City, and do not really feel a community of poets here. My friend, Katy Abrams, did a month for Tupelo in the past, and I reached out to them this winter about participating myself. Now, we are here.
This is their copy: "Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words, accompanied by a cohort of fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 200 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise."
While it may ask you to "donate to Thom" none of your dollars are going to me--they only pass through my words. I have reached out to many of you directly about how your support to this project impacts many other artists, poets, writers, and I hope that this reaches everyone who sees it--to know both my gratitude and warmth for your participation. Thank you.
