I receive an e-newsletter from the Cal State Long Beach English Department every couple of days. Most of the time it has to do with on campus events or classes being offered. Sometimes it deals with readings and other off campus events, like the one i got today. I don't know if it's kosher to reproduce any of it, but i had to post this section:
Saturday, April 2: Haute Dog Poetry. As everyone in the area must know by now, Haute Dog means Justin Rudd, the impresario who promotes beach clean-ups, dog Easter parades and other community events. You are invited to read your favorite dog-themed works. Rudd will present prizes for the best entries.
Haute Dog Poetry begins at 1 p.m. on Ocean Boulevard, east of the Belmont Pier between Roycroft and Argonne Avenues, close to the water.
Directions: go to http://www.dogzone.com
For those that don't live here in Long Beach, Haute Dog is a canine boutique on 2nd St., in Belmont Shores, a very trendy part of town.
Three things immediately popped into my mind when I read this: 1.) I don't really like dogs. 2.) i don't really like poetry, nor do i ever write it and 3.) i really really really want to go do this.
Basically, to all you girls wearing dark eye make up and all you guys wearing dark eye make up, i am looking for some good poetry pointers to get my poetry up to snuff to compete in the Haute Dog! poetry competition! I know that there are PLENTY of people on MySpace with poetry experience so let's hear it! I've got a week and a half to get ready!
Does anyone else have any ideas on what I should write about?
