The Hermit Poet

As promised, I’m working on a series of posts which are based on the material I put together for the How to Write a Love Poem course which was recently cancelled. Not wanting to let the work go to waste, I’m posting excerpts from my notes as well as some exercises I’ve been developing.

Originally I had hoped to have something finished tonight, but due to another project due tomorrow, I’ll have to hold off till Monday.

Here’s a list of some of the exercises and topics that I’ll be posting about:

The Object of My Affection
Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Love / Hate
Cartography of Love
The Love Poem as Mnenomic
