Week Four: Half-way There!

Here's the crew inside and outside Woodland Pattern Book Center after looking through many examples of chapbooks.

Director Anne Kingsbury (far right) and her assistant Julie (far left) were very helpful giving us ideas about how to design our chapbook.

The interns (and lead artist) have had a very intensive week choosing the poems that will comprise the chapbook. We are still working hard to edit it and to get it "perfect." We have a vision of how we want the book to be: now we just have to find out if our budget will support the vision!

We have also been contacting various possible venues for our poetry reading as well as practicing reading poems (our own and others') aloud. The interns have done a great job of encouraging each other at this. They just have to stop looking at each other and breaking into giggles!

Interns, from left: Michael Baker, Danielle Sanders, Tiara Cannon, Savanna Pryor, Mikael Luter, Clara Forrest, Lawrence Frater, Demetrius Cooper.

This week has been very successful. Everyone has finally chosen their three poems. But we still have more work to do.

UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

Forever is finally over,

That's about how long week four felt. A small four days has seemed equivalent to about four decades. This isn't a complaint though,because as I may have said before, I do love what I do. Also some good news has come my way, I got a raise!!!We've picked the poems and title for the book.We still have a little bit of kinks and bumps to work out; though overall this week's been good.

It's been really fun. We're starting to get the book together and we're going over ideas about titles, how it should be organized, and what the cover should look like. I can't wait to see it when it's over.

This week was really good. We got to go to Woodland Pattern Book Center and we checked out some good titles for our chapbook from the workers that were there. That was really fun. Enjoy your weekend everybody.

WOW, week four is finally over and I have learned a lot so far. Now I went to the Woodland Pattern Book Center and a variety of books other than poetry was also there. This message was approved by your number one manager Kathleen Dale.+
