Ciao Fellow Poets! So excited to be back for my second year. Last year was amazing and such an awesome way to meet other creative minds. The energy from the group on the FB Page kept me going the whole 24 hours (with only a few delirious naps). Everyone had a different approach to preparing for the marathon. I enjoyed the hourly prompts and the resulting stream of consciousness writing. I had tons of excellent coffee, snacks and hello, CHOCOLATE!  – Bia Riaz
