Author interviews

Much has been said and written about belonging to a writing group, sometimes by those who have had a negative experience through joining a group incompatible with their writing needs, or where their expectations differed to the aims of the group. Alternatively, many writers speak about positive experience of group involvement and how this has helped them develop as writers and poets. Throughout the month of August, I will be posting interviews with authors and poets on the value of writing groups from their experience.

1st interview - Rose Frankcombe

2nd interview - Terry L Probert

3rd interview - Melissa Gijsbers

4th interview - Frank Ince

5th interview - Jo Michaels

6th interview - Les Stillman

7th interview - Lorraine Jones

8th interview - Julee Stillman

9th interview - Loretta McCarthy

10th interview - Sonia Doherty

June Challenge

The challenge for this month is the Sestina, a form of poetry that uses a method of repeating words at the end of each line. It has 6 stanzas of 6 lines each with a tercet of three lines to conclude the poem. The metre is not prescribed, although very short lines are unlikely. With the repetitions, the effect may be compared to change-ringing on bells.

1. ABCDEF
2. FAEBDC
3. CFDABE
4. ECBFAD
5. DEACFB
6. BDFECA
7. (envoi) ECA or ACE

The envoi, sometimes known as the tornada, must also include the remaining three end-words, BDF, in the course of the three lines so that all six recurring words appear in the final three lines.
