People often ask me, “How do I make a notebook?” or “What should my notebook look like?” The great thing about your poetry notebook is that it is uniquely yours, and you can customize it as you please. You can create it using any type of paper and cover you desire.

Poetry Slams: Performance Plus Art

Performance artists of all types revel in the wonder and acclaim they receive from the public. In return, concerts and performances become more vibrant with audience engagement. In recent years, an increasing number of musicians, even those in traditional music, have encouraged audiences to sing along or clap to the beat.
