The Poets' Almanac Master Text

1/22/2020

Hey poets, and fans of Local Gems Press
We wanted to let you know about an exciting new project you can be a part of.
​
This upcoming year will be the 5th anniversary of The Poets' Almanac, the poetry prompt journal that many poets have taken a shine to. For the 5th year of this project, we wanted to fulfill what has become popular demand for a more permanent poetry prompt text, that talks about form, meter, rhyme, syllable stresses and the whole tool box for the ambitious poet.

So for this book, we will be combining some of the favorite prompts with some new ones, and lots more.

So, how can you be a part of this? We need example poems to publish in this textbook!

Have you ever written a poem from one of the prompts in our prompt journals, or a Poets' Almanac of any year? We might consider it to be included in this book.

We can only take 1 or 2 examples for each prompt (or else this book will be huge) but there are plenty of prompts to choose from.

In the coming days and weeks we will be posting lists of prompts we are looking for example poems for. Please send them to

thepoetsalmanac@gmail.com

These are the following prompts and forms are ones we are looking for right now (though feel free to send any you have done from any of the prompts we have provided over the years, they will all at least be considered.) We will post more soon.

I am not certain that my quirky meter and rhyme meet your prompt list. Previously published accepted?

Yes, so long as you have the rights to it.
