Commonplace - Maria Taylor: July 2015
http://miskinataylor.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Commonplace - Maria Taylor. Monday, 13 July 2015. A short blog entry on a couple of recent publications. At the beginning of the month, I had poems featured on both The Compass. And the Proletarian Poetry. There are also poems from Ian Duhig, Philip Gross, Pippa Little, Martha Sprackland, Hannah Lowe, Jonathan Edwards, Charlotte Gann, Katie Hale and others. Please click here. Peter has written a lovely, thoughtful piece to accompany the poem. I've really enjoyed reading the poems and the commentaries.

Commonplace - Maria Taylor: Covering Letters
http://miskinataylor.blogspot.com/2015/06/covering-letters.html
Commonplace - Maria Taylor. Thursday, 11 June 2015. 1 Am I being too familiar? 2 Am I being too distant? 3 Should I be more familiar? 4 Should I be more distant? 5 Does it matter that I have children? 6 Does the year in which I was born matter for a biography? 7 Should I be business-like? 8 Would it be nicer if it were handwritten? 9 My printer is playing up. If I hand-wrote the letter would they think I was deranged? Especially with my handwriting). What font should I use? 13 Is Times New Roman too dull?

Commonplace - Maria Taylor: December 2014
http://miskinataylor.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Commonplace - Maria Taylor. Wednesday, 3 December 2014. Looking back at the year's blog post it seems that most entries are about events and the inevitable travel to different place s and locations across the country. One entry I regret not writing was about my experience and reading at the Wenlock poetry festival, life intervened! I had a great time, but the occasional travelling throughout the year did get me thinking about those poets who travel all the time. I'd say it's fairly ine. It seems to be ab...

Commonplace - Maria Taylor: Lifesaving Poems During a Power Cut
http://miskinataylor.blogspot.com/2015/07/lifesaving-poems-for-power-cut.html
Commonplace - Maria Taylor. Tuesday, 7 July 2015. Lifesaving Poems During a Power Cut. Ed Anthony Wilson, Bloodaxe Books, 2015. Over the last few weeks I've been reading and re-reading Anthony Wilson’s remarkable anthology Lifesaving Poems. I read X in the playground in Juniors! It made me wonder what would go into my own ‘Lifesaving Poems.’. Lastly, there are many passages were Anthony talks about ‘poetry exhaustion’ or what I call being ‘over-poetried.’ Sometimes this is ver...PS I copy and pasted my b...

Commonplace - Maria Taylor: August Happenings
http://miskinataylor.blogspot.com/2014/08/august-happenings.html
Commonplace - Maria Taylor. Monday, 18 August 2014. I said I'd post more frequently and here I am again dammit! These are a few notes on recent happenings. At the beginning of the month I heard George Szirtes read in Leicester at Word! And it was quite a experience. I felt really quite lucky to be able to hear such an accomplished poet reading. Equally sad about missing the July Shindig, but have been busy organising another one in September. So a few things going on in autumn. Also have a couple of poem...

Commonplace - Maria Taylor. Monday, 18 August 2014. Down the Rabbit Hole. This is a Disney image, I know, please don't sue me. It's very easy to fall down a rabbit hole. Final note* I am including a link to a poem on Anthony Wilson's excellent website titled 'Poem for Someone Who is Juggling Her Life' by Rose Cook, as it seems quite relevant and you will find it here. 2 July 2015 at 00:36. Very nice post . Do visit my blog. Http:/ www.shilpachandrasekheran.blogspot.ae/? 8 July 2015 at 02:57. Hi, thought ...
