Hubpages. Poetic Parfait. Poetic Ink - About. The love of words is what this network is all about, the love of poetry, of poets and of free expression. Our human mind is not designed with well defined boundaries, with objectionable frames of reference, nor is it set up to have barriers that burden others, or block free expression. With that being stated true freedom is also what this collaborative network is all about, writers are people who think in differing perspective, dimentionalities, creatively contrasting the worlds ideas. Reshaping our vision of reality is what we do from day to day, and we offer our collective voices to the world.
Love is the answer to heal all wounds, words of poetry with the essense of purity to voice ones sense of inner love for life, for the pursuit of happiness, and for prosperity of the heart, the mind, the human spirit and for being alive is what motivates us to keep on writing.

[This post was written by guest contributor Shawn Scarber Deggans, a writer and web developer who lives in Dallas, Texas. He's a Clarion West Graduate and long time member of the DFW Writers' Workshop.] There are many types of workshops, but none are quite as useful at honing a novelist’s natural voice as a read aloud and critique workshop. Most writers’ workshops, especially the online variety, focus on some type of manuscript exchange. In this environment you read the work ahead of time, you take notes, and either through a web application or meet up discuss the works in a controlled way.
Many writers find this to be the ideal workshop format, because critiques are thorough and the person delivering the critique has access to longer works. Many of these groups have chapter exchanges that allow you to work a whole novel through the system. Getting started with a read aloud workshop This first hump to get over is the fact you will read your work aloud in front of other authors. Slowly. Lord Alfred Tennyson. Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892), English poet often regarded as the chief representative of the Victorian age in poetry. Tennyson succeeded Wordsworth as Poet Laureate in 1850. Alfred, Lord Tennyson was born on August 5, 1809 in Somersby, Lincolnshire. His father, George Clayton Tennyson, a clergyman and rector, suffered from depression and was notoriously absentminded.
Alfred began to write poetry at an early age in the style of Lord Byron. After spending four unhappy years in school he was tutored at home. His next book, Poems (1833), received unfavorable reviews, and Tennyson ceased to publish for nearly ten years. After marrying Emily Sellwood, whom he had already met in 1836, the couple settled in Farringford, a house in Freshwater on the Isle of Wight in 1853. Among Tennyson's major poetic achievements is the elegy mourning the death of his friend Arthur Hallam, "In Memoriam" (1850). Tennyson died at Aldwort on October 6, 1892 and was buried in the Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. Don Yorty | Explorations in Writing, Travel, and Education. Authora. Poetry, Poems, Bios & More.
