Summary: <br> Award-Winning Poet <a href="http://majorjackson.com/">Major Jackson</a>, whose collection <a href="http://www.indiebound.org/book/9780393246896">Roll Deep</a> comes out in paperback February 28th (<a href="http://books.wwnorton.com/books/detail.aspx?ID=4294992761">Norton</a>). <br> This week’s Write the Book Prompt is to write a poem that attempts to imitate the work of Major Jackson. Read some of his<a href="https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poets/detail/major-jackson#about">work</a>yourself and think about intention, rhythm, meter, rhyme. Maybe write a golden shovel, where you choose a line from a poem by Major, and use each word in the line as an end word in your own poem. Keep the borrowed words in order. <br> Good luck with your work in the coming week, and please listen next week for another prompt or suggestion. <br> Music Credit: Aaron Shapiro<br>
