2006 was a prolific year for me. I found a new poetic voice and in doing so, produced a manuscript which turned into a book.
The following is a preview of my first book, The Swallow Project: A Guide to Consuming Obsession, released August 2006. I’ve included a few poems from each chapter.

I.Monique,
I’m intrigued by the line you posted for this week’s Poetry Thursday project. Unfortunately, I’m off and running with a different prompt already, but I would love to read the poem this came from. Can you tell me where I can find it?
Peace,
-Sasha

Sasha, the line is from a poem out of The Swallow Project called, “A Pantoum for Your Ass.”
It is now posted under Poetry Thursday: Line Poem.
Thank you for stopping by and good luck with your poem. I’m still trying to narrow down my lines.

Congrats on your book! I took your line for Poetry Thursday (great line!) I’ll have to check out the original.

YAY!!! I’m very excited to read your poem. It’s a very interesting concept to see how people take the same words, thoughts, and ideas and manipulate them, coerce them into something totally different. It’s exciting to me.
