Book Description

Peter Murphy’s Prompts and the Poems They Inspired
Challenges
for the Delusional compiles a selection of Peter Murphy’s infamous and
eccentric poetry-writing prompts. For 19 years he’s shared these prompts at his
writers' conference, the Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway, and this collection
features a sampling of the many diverse and wonderful poems that they’ve
inspired. Contributors include: Stephen Dunn, Kathleen Graber, Dorianne Laux,
James Richardson, and more.

From the Foreword by Stephen Dunn
"Peter's approach to
teaching poetry writing is unique and uniquely effective…. [his] quirky prompts
have given way to poems that range from humorous to serious, from affectionate
to nostalgic. They’ll take their place among the workshops, panels, good meals,
and late night dancing—the pleasures that abound at the Getaway."

Adanna Literary Journal

http://adannajournal.blogspot.com/

Adanna, a name of Nigerian origin, pronounced
a-DAN-a, is defined as “her father’s daughter.” This literary journal is
titled Adanna because women over the centuries have been defined by men
in politics, through marriage, and, most importantly, by the men who fathered
them. Today women are still bound by complex roles in society, often needing to
wear more than one hat or sacrifice one role so another may flourish.

While this journal is dedicated to women, it is not
exclusive, and it welcomes our counterparts and their thoughts about women
today. Submissions to Adanna must reflect women’s issues or topics, celebrate
womanhood, and shout out in passion.
