Sit down and ponder for a moment about every person who impacted you or helped you get where you are today. These could be significant others, professors, your parents, that guy you once met at the Loaf & Jug on the way home from work...think about these people and how they have impacted your life, and then write a haiku for every person that is significant enough to deserve one.
Submission time is here! Every March from the 1st through the 20th, Write Bloody Publishing (founded by the miraculous beat poet Derrick C. Brown) accepts poetry and manuscript submissions to be judged. After some deliberations, the publishing company whittles down the contestants until three lucky writers stand at the top, with a book deal and guaranteed tour. It can't hurt to try! This is a company that publishes some of the best contemporary poetry I've ever read, so give it a try. All they can do is say no :)

I just got back from the Unity Celebration in the DAC and I have to tell you all that it was simply incredible.
We
had brilliant poets and poetry reading that would leave you breathless.
We honored both staff and students who are doing wonderful work in
bringing this college together as a cohesive, meaningful community. We
had original music of incredible depth, emotion and maturity. We were
treated to a lovely group performance by the Poetry Club. Overall, we
had lots of people joining together in an event that was just, well, The
Bomb.
Bravo to everyone involved. What a fabulous experience. I wish I could bottle the feelings I'm taking away from this.

In other words,
a big thank you to everyone who was involved in our Black History Month Unity Celebration! Overall I think we did a fantastic job and the audience was quite moved by our words. It really just goes to show that language really can foster the emotion and passionate drive it takes to change the world.
