Who knows the names of any dystopian fiction novels, movies, authors?

June 30th, 2009


To clarify, dystopian means it is the ***?ture of earth in a bad way. The movies Clockwork Orange, Terminator, Blade Runner, Brazil, and Waterworld all are of that genre. I am mostly looking for authors who have written these types of novels. Thanks

What is your opinion of my thingy on writing poetry?

June 30th, 2009


On Writing Poetry
by Elaine Polin

Poetry
does not flow
from brain
to fingertips.

Words must be
changed
arranged
exchanged.

At the end
most of them
must be
trashed.
DM: You have plenty of your own.
As I have said before, Dondi is the exception to the rule. He breathes poetry.

A little help with NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), please?

June 30th, 2009


I’m trying to write a novel for NaNoWriMo, and I think I’m on the right track in terms of characters, literary devices, etc. The one little problem is that I cannot come up with a ****?d enough plot.

The basic storyline revolves around a girl who ***?ems to feel her dead brother’s presence all around her. Her mother is developing Alzheimer’s, and she has a younger sibling. She knows that her physical and mental condition is ****?idly deteriorating (due to what: I don’t know yet), so, ***? the only able ***?rson in her whole ***?mily, she ****?ts to record a sort of account of her ***?mily history, her life, since she does not ****?t to be forgotten in the ***?ture etc. ***? ***?me passes, her ability to write becomes worse (like in “Flowers for Algernon”), and she needs to be taken care of constantly. Her younger sibling takes over her role ***? the “recorder of anecdotes”.

–This is the point at which I’m completely lost. Maybe before, I don’t know. If anyone has any suggestions, please don’t hesitate to voice them!

What are your ***?vorite anthologies of contemporary poetry?

June 30th, 2009


I am interested in all of the 20th century, ****? especially poems and poets from the last half of the century and the present.

I like poems that are accessible ****? of genuine literary merit. Please do not include those massive textbooks, like the Norton Anthology. Also you do not need to include the Best American Poetry ***?ries; they are very interesting, ****? I have a complete collection of those already.
