I primarily write fiction, but I&#8217;ve also dabbled in poetry. It&#8217;s always been present in my writing, in some form or another. I find that sentences themselves sound much better with a little poetic inspiration (after all who doesn&#8217;t love alliteration?).<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, I graduated with a BFA in Writing from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While there, I was part of a poetry club. We called this little club &#8216;Poets with Passion&#8217; and though poets came and went it was mostly the club president and I (an amazing writer we&#8217;ll just call IJ) attempting really poor and very loud slam poetry at various venues in Atlanta. Looking back, I realize the looks of surprise were more from people being shocked at the volume and affectation than the effectiveness of my prose.<\/p>\n<p>I signed up for the Poetry Marathon because, to be honest, I&#8217;ve kind of abandoned poetry. I miss writing\/performing it, and while I don&#8217;t miss the open-mic yelling, I do miss the emotion.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m looking for a car-battery-hooked-to-nipples type of jump start, so I think this will be perfect. I hope to get a lot of writing done and to run across a word or sentence, some bit of writing that reminds me of why I cared about poetry in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>See you on the other side, ever-enduring word cadets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I&#8217;m Jarrod.
