Writer’s Block Party Episode 7: The Village Circus

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY! Writers’ Block Party Episode 7: The Village Circus is ready for streaming! Tune in on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to hear our guest, the amazing co-founder of Invisible Disco Productions, Amelia Annen’s new poem, The Village Circus.

Amelia and the two episode hosts, Deniz and Lauren, discuss writing and revising in poetry, finding a rhythm in verse, coming to a natural conclusion to the poem you’re writing, discovering the form or medium your piece wants to take, stylistic nostalgia, technological advancement leading to a generation of cinematographers, inspirations she draws from, and what she does when she has writer’s block!

We are cool and trendy, so check out the cool and trendy pop culture references you will find in this episode: metaphors, Neil Gaiman, John Keats, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Frozen, Lines Written a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey, period poetry, James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, surrealist paintings, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Open Your Eyes with Penelope Cruz, and Vanilla Sky with Tom Cruise.

We adore Amelia, and we are so excited for you all to get to experience her work! Thanks, and have a great week!
