T.S. Eliot Adaptation Experiment

By
Attention all budding writers and closet modernists!

Teilo and I thought it would be neat to each try writing a short story based on T.S. Eliot's "Preludes," and then to touch base afterwards with our respective visions. Then we thought: the more the merrier! It'd be pretty incredible to be able to read through several different takes on Eliot's poem, especially given how differently writers pursue their craft. So let's see what happens!

Spread the word and, whenever you have a minute, scribble something down yourself. This experiment/project/exercise is purely about the joy of creating something neat, so there are no word limits (neither high nor low), guidelines, winners or losers. Just the satisfaction of writing and a tentative deadline - April 15th - after which we'll ideally post all the stories here in the blog.

Here's a link to "Preludes": http://www.bartleby.com/198/3.html. When and if you end up writing something for this, just send it to one of us via facebook or email (the.writers.block@hotmail.com).

Manuscript Issue

By
It's been awhile since my last post, but now that it's summer I've been reinvigorated to come back to the magazine and the blog. To shake the dust off, I want to give a brief glimpse into the direction The Writers Block is headed: The next issue is going to be a tribute to and exploration of the relationship between handwriting and poetic composition. Until July 1st, the Block is accepting submissions for a poetry-only manuscript issue of handwritten and/or hand-illustrated poems in digitized, scanned, or photographed formats. I'm interested to see what sort of submissions will come in. I've tried to phrase the call specifically enough to communicate clearly what I'm looking for, while leaving it ambiguous enough to ensure a plurality of submissions. The inspiration for the call came out of my research on e-books, and how emerging literary technologies are changing the way we read and experience older printed and hand-written texts. Both print and digitizati...

Why Write?

By
Most writers, when asked, will tell you that they write because they can't stop, can't help themselves. This is a great answer, except that they seem to have misunderstood what was being asked of them. The question isn't “Why do you write?” but rather, “Why should you write?” It's a very convenient, romantic notion of the suffering writer, who writes because he cannot stop, despite being ignored by all (I can't help but think of Dylan Thomas' “In My Craft or Sullen Art”). Unfortunately, this is useless, and largely untrue. No longer do writers have patrons, like Yeats, nor can any but the most successful make a living off their art (and do not choose their art over their worldly existence). Nearly every writer you read nowadays holds a job separate from their art, and although it may not sing to their souls in the same fashion, it is the lifeblood that shapes their experiences and, in turn, their art. Yet again literature is struggling to reinvent itself. This i...

"Why Should We Write?"

By
There's an interesting phenomenom I've noticed with the release of the first issue of The Oral Tradition: people go to the magazine's submission's page nearly as often as they look at the issue itself. This could mean any number of things, but I think it says something about writers nowadays. We seem to be more concerned with finding a place for our own voice to be heard than listening to other voices . . . and then we complain that no one is listening. This leads to the market being supersaturated, and brings me to a question I think will soon become essential to contemporary literature. A certain question can come to define a certain age. Post-modernists asked "What should a poem be?" and modernists asked "Why should we continue to write the same way?" Before this, the typical question being answered in literature was "How should we live?" or "What is the good life?" I believe ours is "Why should we write?" More people...
