See “How to Observe Better Sleep Month.” Deep sleep is a key to writing — and comprehending — deep poetry, folks. Never neglect the fundamentals!

I hope this month-long series hasn’t proved too annoying to VN readers who aren’t as into poetry as I am. Thanks to everyone who did in fact send or otherwise share these, and thanks to someecards.com for the great application and images.

About

Via Negativa is a unique experiment in daily, poetic conversation with the living and the dead. Dave Bonta founded the site in 2003 and Luisa A. Igloria joined in 2010. Guest authors contribute as well. Dave writes daily erasure poems to discover the poetry hidden in the Diary of Samuel Pepys. Luisa has been writing and posting a poem a day since November 2010, often in response to Dave’s entries at The Morning Porch. Collections of poems first published at Via Negativa include Luisa’s The Buddha Wonders if She is Having a Mid-Life Crisis and Ode to the Heart Smaller than a Pencil Eraser, and Dave’s Ice Mountain and Breakdown: Banjo Poems.
