The project will be published from July 28 to August 28 on Vent! Magazine.[break]
“We’ll be collecting poems and publishing them simultaneously one day at a time. Since we’re an online magazine, we thought of doing something which is totally online and is convenient as well,” said Dipti Sherchan, team member at VENT.
She added that VENT has had organized various workshops in the past, but this is something totally different and also easier to participate in.
Since there is an ongoing process for participation, interested ones can email their entries to dipti@ventzine.com.
VENT! will compile a list of participating poets and send an email to each participant. When the participant gets an email, s/he will receive a poem from the previous poet. The participant then will have to use the last word of the poem to continue the poem in their own words.
Then one must send the email back to VENT!, and they will send the poems to the next participant, and so on and so forth.
Each poet will get 18 hours to come up with a response and email it to dipti@ventzine.com. If the poet does not send the poem within that deadline, s/he will be replaced with the next poet on queue.
The poem should be more than three lines (a haiku is acceptable).
The responding poet must use the last word of the previous poem to create his/her poem (see example online).You can use any style of poetry or create your own one.
The project is all about imaginations and conversations bundled into poems.
It is open to all, and since it is an ongoing event, interested ones should participate as soon as possible.
