A constructive approach to critiquing poems, hosted by Author/Poet Ghetto Blacknuss Sundays at 8PM eastern on Paltalk.com in the VI Radio Chat Lounge.

 

This will be a two hour session for serious writers trying to elevate their craft.  Each week no more than 4 poems will be reviewed, discussion on creative aspects of writing, and advise about the publishing game will be on the agenda. 

 

With Ghetto as the host, he is sure to keep things interesting. 

"In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect. Trees can be contorted, bent in weird ways, and they're still beautiful." - Alice Walker

“Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.” - Zora Neale Hurston

“The impulse to dream was slowly beaten out of me by experience. Now it surged up again and I hungered for books, new ways of looking and seeing.” - Richard Wright

“I swear to the Lord,I still can't see, why democracy means, everybody but me.” - Langston Hughes

"I don't want to say that these poems have to be simple, but I want to clarify my language. I want these poems to be free. I want them to be direct without sacrificing the kinds of music, the picturemaking I've always been interested in." - Gwendolyn Brooks
