Bloof invites our poets and a few special guests to fling drafts at this blog every day for a month, in celebration of a little thing known as NaPoWriMo. What’s that?
NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April.
This website is owned and operated by Maureen Thorson, a poet then living in Washington, DC. Inspired by NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), she started writing a poem a day for the month of April back in 2003, posting the poems on her blog. When other people started writing poems for April, and posting them on their own blogs, Maureen linked to them. After a few years, so many people were doing NaPoWriMo that Maureen decided to launch an independent website for the project.
Visit the NaPoWriMo.net website to list your site, read the daily prompts, and find other participants.
Stay tuned for a list of our April players!
