Queridos amigos;

Hinchas de Poesía is now accepting submissions for its sixth on-line issue. We are interested in writing that captures the many voices of América. When we say “América,” we mean it in the way that José Martí did –namely, that the word encapsulates the whole of the Américas, not just the North.

January 28, 2012

Ralph Fletcher, in A Writer’s Notebook (for ages 8–12, but really for anyone who writes), promotes the use of notebooks as incubators/ditches/containers/sponges/private rooms/mineralized rocks for our words, pictures, drawings, and scraps. He includes examples from his own notebooks and from students he’s known.
