National Poetry Writing Month is upon us poor beleaguered poets once again.

Given my hectic start to the month (ie, a week of intense grant writing) I wasn’t sure I really wanted to do this again this year, but given I am a sucker for punishment, I thought, oh what the hey.

April is going to be a pretty pleasant poetical month for me — what with opening at the very first Lee Marvin gig of the year on Tuesday night (April 5), and starting my month long residency at Adelaide City Library as Poet in Residence on Wednesday (April 6).

As part of my residency I will be running workshops using Books as inspiration, so I decided I will write all my 2016 NaPoWrMo poems using games and exercises I will be sharing at that gig.
