This is EMPTY! I'm spending this beautiful day inside because of the above-pictured jug aka Jug O' Urine. This beautiful orange jug is for me to collect my urine for 24 hours. Whoever created this jug is genius, the orange color masks the urine color, which would make this whole process even grosser. And believe… Continue reading Sunday Jugging

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Big Poetry Giveaway. I just found out I won a book through Poemeleon's giveaway. Hooray! Happy birthday to me! It is my birthday today. And after receiving lots of presents I am in a giving mood so I thought I'd enter everyone's names into the random number generator. Drumroll… Continue reading And the winners are…

But I'm collecting my thoughts. This is my blog about writing. Only I haven't been writing much the past few weeks. Work is crazy busy. And anytime I sit down to write something other than work, emails, or facebook & twitter updates, I can only think about one thing. And I'm not ready to write… Continue reading I should write something here…

...And I've only written 2 poems! For the 3rd year in a row I pretty much suck at this. I always have some excuse--this year I was in Florida for the first 3 days of April basking in the heavenly rays that the East Coast has been missing. Work has been crazy busy. I have… Continue reading Day 9 of Poem-A-Day

In addition to an attempt to write a poem a day for National Poetry Month, I thought it would be cool to participate in this poetry giveaway being coordinated by Kelli Agodon. I’m a lurking reader of her blog, so here’s my way of coming out, “Hi, Kells!” (I feel like such a dork). The… Continue reading 2011 Poetry Giveaway

It's not that I am always bringing up my kidneys, people keep asking me about it, so there's lots of talk. Plus… Continue reading All I think about are KIDNEYS!

I've always been a writer. I fell in love with books as a little girl. One day I told myself I was going to have a book with my name on it, so I started writing. I wrote in diaries and journals. I wrote soap operas. I wrote the occasional poem and short story. I… Continue reading Writing Through Trying Times

I'm here! I have been neglecting my duties to my blog. For my thousands of loyal readers (ha) I'm sorry. With the holidays, working on my chapbook, writing for The Rumpus, and life in general, I've let it slip. This year, I am going to attempt to write a poem a week. I will probably… Continue reading Quick Shout: Write Resolution

I should've mentioned this when I first began. Those 12 of you who read my blog probably already know this, but I am doing a couple of posts on Sundays at The Rumpus. Check out what I've written so far: http://therumpus.net/author/latoya-jordan/
