NaPoWriMo Pledge Drive

To mark the fifth anniversary of NaPoWriMo, Poets.org is raising the stakes of the challenge by organizing a pledge drive—both to offer additional incentives for participation and to raise funds necessary to expand the free poetry resources we offer throughout the year. Learn more >

I will personally be participating in NaPoWriMo again this year, but with a twist: I've decided to challenge myself to REVISE a poem each day, using my 2005 April poems as the raw material for this year's round of insufficient verse. I'll also be posting links back the the originals, in case anyone is interested in tracking the changes. I'll be posting the poems on my Poetry Blog.
