For a while, I've been trying to come up with a good idea so I can host my very first blogathon. I'm still not sure I have, but hey I'm rolling with it. Unlike most normal folks, I'm an avid reader of poetry. Guess what? April is National Poetry Month. This being a movie blog and all, it gives me a chance to combine two of my favorite things and I'm asking you to join in on the fun.
The rules are simple:
1. Post a review of a movie that either has a poet as a major character, is inspired by/based on a poem, or uses poetry as an important part of the film.
- If the protagonist is a poet, at least make mention of that fact and some of his/her notable work.
- If the movie uses poetry in its narrative, include in your review whether or not it is effective within the film's structure.
2. Use the banner above and a link back to this post.
3. Post a comment below with a link to your review.
The deadline is April 27, 2014, not quite at the end of National Poetry Month, but close enough. I will then create a post with a link to each submission.
There are tons of movies that fit the criteria so I'm interested in seeing what you guys come up with. Thanks in advance!
