It's that time again. Six months have passed since last we queued up to host the Poetry Friday roundups.
If you'd like to host a roundup between January and June 2020, leave your choice(s) of date(s) in the comments. I'll update regularly to make it easier to see which dates have been claimed.
What is the Poetry Friday roundup? A gathering of links to posts featuring original or shared poems, or reviews of poetry books. A carnival of poetry posts. Here is an explanation that Rene LaTulippe shared on her blog, No Water River, and here is an article Susan Thomsen wrote for the Poetry Foundation.
Who can do the Poetry Friday roundup? Anyone who is willing to gather the links in some way, shape, or form (Mr. Linky, "old school" in the comments-->annotated in the post, or ???) on the Friday of your choice. If you are new to the Poetry Friday community, jump right in, but perhaps choose a date later on so that we can spend some time getting to know each other.
How do you do a Poetry Friday roundup? If you're not sure, stick around for a couple of weeks and watch...and learn! One thing we're finding out is that folks who schedule their posts, or who live in a different time zone than you, appreciate it when the roundup post goes live sometime on Thursday.
How do I get the code for the PF Roundup Schedule for the sidebar of my blog? You can grab the list from the sidebar here at A Year of Reading, or I'd be happy to send it to you if you leave me your email address. You can always find the schedule on the Kidlitosphere Central webpage.
Why would I do a Poetry Friday Roundup? Community, community, community. It's like hosting a poetry party on your blog!

ReplyDeleteMay 15, please. Thanks, ML!
ReplyDeleteI have been a horrible Poetry Friday poster this Fall, but maybe hosting would get me back in the swing of things. I can do January 3rd.
ReplyDeleteI can do January 10 or 17. I have not been around much this year, but January is a good month for me to do things and maybe help set the pattern to do better in 2020.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee, March 13 or 20 would be great, as I'll be posting about Wordsong's new "Construction People" anthology, one of LBH's last. It was great seeing you last weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary Lee! I would love April 10 if it is still free. xx

ReplyDeleteHi Mary Lee, thank you so much for organizing us again. If no one else has requested May 1, I will host that day.
ReplyDeleteHi, Mary Lee! Thanks, as always, for doing this! I'll take February 28th. That will certainly give me something to look forward to in the drab month of February which, despite its shortness, always feels sooooooo long. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll take Feb 7 if it's still open--thanls for organizing us :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know. It's been a really busy weekend! I'll take Jan. 17th. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteAnd...it's a wrap for January-June! Thanks, everyone! This might be a record -- we filled the schedule in 4 days!
ReplyDeleteWow - that was a speedy fill-up! (I missed out, but will pay closer attention next time. Was on the road and out of the loop. Ha! But Poetry Friday in 2020 will be starting off in very good hands - :0) Thanks for coordinating, Mary Lee! )
ReplyDeleteMary Lee, I was away at Hotel Hershey with the family and missed signing up for the schedule. Please let me know when you put up the next half of the year. I would take July 10th and September 25th if those are open.
ReplyDeleteSorry! I'm not organized enough to take requests for future roundups!
