august 4-7[Danielle Sanders]

This week went by extremely fast; we had half day Monday because of the poetry slam we attended, a trip to Clark Graphics, and we designed the cover for the chapbook.

OVER CAME FEAR

Hi it's Savanna again. The thing I overcame at this job is speaking out loud and speaking in front of people. I am so happy that I overcame this fear I had.

Week Five

Here we are at Clark Graphics and the Miramar theater (only a block from each other) and at the bus stop waiting to go back. Molly Carey of Clark Graphics helped us figure out what kind of book we could put together within our budget. Luckily, we can have almost everything we wanted.

Interns have also been busy this week posing for head shots for the book (previews later!) and getting the book organized the way they want it. They have also been practicing, practicing, practicing reading/performing their poems aloud for the poetry reading.

Doug James of Schwartz BookShop on Downer has agreed, after seeing the interns' poems and our blog, to let us use the bookstore for our reading on Thursday, Aug. 28. It is exciting to see everything start to come together!

alive in week 5

We had a blast as week 5 passed,
All we're doing now is making the last decisions and setting everything in concrete.The journey thus far has been amazing. By next week I'll have all the facts on the events.

I'm so happy we've started on the book. We figured out what the cover will be and I really like it. We're getting ready for a poetry reading that we will do at the end of the program and it's been alot of work but I'm really excited about the book! I hope that everyone will enjoy it because I know we all worked very hard the last couple of weeks.

Week 5

This is week five and this week we went to Clark Graphics. There we saw what could be done for the chapbook. There were some nice things that could be done and we started to talk about what would work for the cover of the chapbook. Then we decided what type of cover that we wanted(I designed it). I like all the poems that are going to be inside of the chapbook so YOU yes YOU should buy it, and check out the poems from Lawrence Frater.Thank you and I'll type to you next week.
