Lather, poem by Alicia Austen (Magnetic Poetry Kit Poem)
Check out my (magnetic poetry) poem “Lather” on Silver Birch Press’ blog!
NOTE: Yesterday, we blogged about the Magnetic Poetry Kit and included a link where you could create a magnetic poem online. We also asked people to send us their magnetic poems so we could feature them on our blog. Alicia Austen rose to the occasion and is the first to forward her Magnetic Poetry Kit poem. Thank you Alicia!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Alicia Austen is a writer, editor, and rebel-creative. She currently resides in the Queen City (aka Cincinnati), where she can usually be found drinking tea, listening to punk rock, and reading out-of-print books. Visit her blog at onetrackmuse.com.

POETIC TRAVELS,CLASSIC AMERICAN-STYLE

It’s time to hit the road again. This week, we are traveling with an extra dose of hearty American vigor: mid-century style. Think laid-back glam, poetic, unforced. Casual yet calculated.
Let’s go! Let’s go! Let’s go!
Writing and reading whilst lounging in the front passenger seat is obligatory, and so is saving room for any possible bookish road purchases:
Roam Far & Roam Free Market Tote Bag by Belles & Ghosts. $35.00+.
The Inventor’s Pocket Notebook by Earmark. $7.00.
