Hello !

This blog is for poetry that wasn't meant to live on the page.

Hello and welcome to the world of spoken word poetry. A magical place where everyone is welcome and loved. 

My name is Rowan Plinsky and I am a freshman at Washburn University, I am studying mass media and journalism, but my true love is poetry. 

I was born and raised in Lawrence Kansas and attended Lawrence Free State high school. There I was a founding member of Lawrence Free Poetry, the spoken word and slam poetry team. With them I competed in the Kansas City division of Louder Than A Bomb, the largest youth poetry slam in the nation. Then this summer the team and I traveled to San Francisco for Brave New Voices, which is an international festival/ slam. 

On this blog you will get a glimpse into the poetry world. I will share my favorite poems, post writing prompts and tips, and feature interviews and articles from both local and famous poets. 

Please feel free to add comments or questions, I would love to hear feedback from you all. 

Much love, 

-Row
