one of the perks of running the poetrylab
com is that i get a bird's eye view of what
our community is searching for
every month i comb through our site's
analytics looking for trends and keywords
that reveal what poets and writers are
eager to learn about
and that got me thinking
how do we navigate this sea of online
(00:20):
resources and separate out the gems from
the junk
how do we find the tools that actually help
us as writers without falling into the
traps of predatory contests or sketchy
instagram pages
welcome to the poetry lab podcast
(00:43):
the poetry lab started 11 years ago to help
dedicated self taught and formally trained
writers find a place in their community to
write read
learn
and collaborate
we help riders tap into their craft with
radical self compassion unlike anything
you've ever seen in a creative writing
(01:04):
classroom before if you're a creative
person trying to establish a writing
practice in the real world
this podcast is designed to help you carve
out the time the courage and the
inspiration to keep writing your new shit
are you ready poet
let's get into it
(01:31):
hello my friends welcome back to the poetry
lab podcast i'm danielle and i am so
excited that you're here with me today
so i have a question for you
these days who
isn't on a budget
like really who please send them my way
because maybe they can buy me some new books
i think we're all trying to rub two pennies
(01:53):
together to make 15 cents and sadly as many
millennials learned the hard way
education is expensive in this country
but for writers and artists of all kinds
continuing our education is important it's
a huge part of our writing careers we have
to keep learning and advancing our
techniques in order to practice our art
(02:14):
forms so let's talk about some of my
favorite free or all else free resources
for riders
these things can help you keep riding and
learning in the real world
or at least in this advanced simulation in
which we all live i wrote an article about
this for the resource center about a year
and a half ago but today i've updated the
(02:35):
list of resources and included ai tools
first i want to talk about writing tools i
know i know some of you might be thinking i
have an english degree i am the writing
tool but listen technology is here to make
our lives easier not harder
take grammarly for example grammarly is a
(02:56):
writing assistant it's like having a second
pair of eyes on your work it catches pesky
grammar mistakes awkward phrasing and even
does an active ongoing spell check for you
it will give you suggestions for how to
improve your riding style if you have the
premium option but there's a free version
that gives you almost all of those perks
(03:17):
and i think it's enough if you have a ba in
english to get by
sure we all love to think we're above
needing a tool like this i certainly did
until i tried it for the first time but
trust me it has helped me write some really
kick ass gram proposals essays articles
it's that kind of technical writing that
(03:39):
grammarly really helps you shine and just
so you know we are not affiliates of
grammarly i'm just recommending it because
it's helped me out next up though i will say
for full disclosure we are affiliates of notion
notion is the ultimate game changer notion
honestly if i could i would marry it no
offense to my boyfriend but
(04:01):
notion is life it's life giving it's my
favorite thing ever in the whole world
it's an app it's a desktop program it's
easily accessible through web browsers and
the best part about notion is that you can
use it 100 percent for free up to about a
thousand pages
notion is a productivity app that lets you
(04:21):
organize all those scattered thoughts into
one seamless workspace you can color code
design personalize and create any notion
dashboard that you need for your own
creative process at the poetry lab our
whole internal structure is notion based
it's a wonderful way to work in a
collaboration or with a team you can
(04:42):
preview a how we use notion by getting our
guide to craft focused feedback i'm not
talking about feedback in this episode but
if you go see what that database is you'll
get some insights into how we can build out
notion to be really effective plus it has
its own ai component and you can turn
(05:03):
almost anything into a wiki you can take a
list and turn it into a calendar with the
click of a button and with the ai component
it can even help you write paragraphs and
sentences
generating it like a large language model
as if you were using chatgpt but it's all
integrated
into notion
you can also have it help improve
(05:24):
paragraphs or rewrite something for you
just like you could do in grammarly i will
say though
everyone has a free preview of the ai in
notion up to about i think 30 uses and then
you do have to pay for it
most notion accounts when paid for are
about 10 dollars a month but again it can
be used by the average person totally free
(05:47):
and if you're like me and you used to love
that paper datebook where you had
highlighted sections in color coded and you
would do fancy writing types and study
calligraphy and stickers oh god
so many stickers you're gonna love notion
it's like an electronic version of all of that
(06:13):
moving on let's talk about resource and
learning centers these are the websites
that compile a wealth of information for
poets and writers like us
let's start with an overview of the three
juggernauts i'm sure you've all heard of
poetry foundation poets and writers and the
academy of american poets
poetry foundation is known for publishing
(06:34):
the procedures poetry magazine the poetry
foundation is a cornerstone in the poetry
community and in addition to the magazine
they offer extensive resources including
essays interviews and a weekly newsblast
that keeps you informed about the latest
things going on in the poetry world at the
poetry lab we're grateful to the poetry
foundation also for their grant funding in
(06:56):
2023 we received the poetry program's
partnerships and innovations grant and
we're not the only ones the poetry
foundation does do a lot to support other small
organizations and literary magazines and
even publishers in our community academy of
american poets
academy runs poets org a comprehensive
platform for poetry lovers from a vast
(07:17):
collection of poems and poet biographies to
writing prompts and educational resources
i'm sure you've been on poets org before
and just to clarify poets org the academy
is the blue one and poetry foundation is
the red one
that's how i keep them straight finally we
have poets and writers this resource is
(07:37):
pretty indispensable for most of us
especially because they have a
comprehensive database of online and print
magazines and journals places where you can
submit your work for publication
they also list mfa programs and writing
contests of course you can pay to get the
print version or even the digital version
of poets and writers magazine but on their
(07:59):
website they have tons of resources and
many of those if not all of them are free
to access
i'm gonna link to all the websites and
resources i mentioned today on the show
notes page for this episode so if you're
having trouble finding something i'm
telling you about and you can't get to it
by googling it alone just head over to the
poetrylab com
(08:19):
and search for episode number 31 and you
will find everything you're looking for
all right moving away from the big three
there's some other resources i want to make
you aware of new pages is another fantastic
resource
especially for those who are looking to get
their work published
they provide reviews of literary magazines
(08:40):
and their calls for submissions
if you write fiction or creative non
fiction
diy mfa is a must visit they offer a range
of free resources including articles
podcasts and it's all designed to help you
develop your writing practice
of course i can't forget to mention our
very own poetry lab resource center here we
(09:02):
share our collective knowledge with you
written by our weekly colonists teaching
artists and fellowship team members we
publish a new poetry resource
every week it might be a craft essay
recommended reading list or even a roundup
of our favorite poetry power couples if you
haven't subscribed yet you're missing out
we send out a newsletter about what we've
(09:24):
published every week on fridays
lastly
make sure to add writer's digest to your
list of go to resources
they provide a wealth of articles guides
and tools to help you refine your craft
understand the publishing industry and
connect with other writers
since you're listening to a podcast it may
not be a bad idea to tell you about some
(09:44):
other cool podcasts that are all about
poetry one of my top recommendations is the
slowdown show
it might be a bit somber for some but it
offers a thoughtful exploration of poetry
and its place in our lives they release a
new episode every day and there's always
something fresh to listen to
(10:05):
it involves a poet like shera ehrlichman
major jackson or ada limone
reading you a poem and talking about why
they selected it
for something a bit more lighthearted check
out breaking form a poetry and culture
podcast this queer centric show is
hilarious and informative with a focus on
(10:26):
poetic craft and entertaining interviews if
you're looking for something more academic
try line break from copper canyon press
this offers interviews with poets that can
deepen your understanding of contemporary poetry
and of course it'd be wrong not to mention verses
versus is a podcast that pits poets against
(10:46):
topics for lively discussion it's even a
little chaotic sometimes but it's
definitely a vibe and it's also sponsored
by the poetry foundation
few literary magazines and other sources
that i love
literary magazines aren't just for reading
great works sometimes they have excellent
learning resources as well
(11:08):
a few of my favorite online magazines that
publish poetry but also learning resources
are the virginia quarterly review they have
a great online blog called the vqr blog
the rumpists rumpus is like been around
ferrev's it's an online magazine a total
treasure trove of essays interviews and
(11:29):
book reviews
paris review is another one that's been
around for almost a hundred years i think
it's famous for its in depth author
interviews
and it provides an intimate look into the
creative process of some of the world's
most respected writers
and here's one that's kind of a sleeper
pick and maybe the best of all
sundress publications craft chaps if you're
(11:52):
looking to dive into some specific writing
techniques and really develop out your
craft these are
free
online
mini
chatbooks you can go and download as many
as you want they've been publishing the
series for a few years and there is a lot
of content there for you to consume
sundress craft chats i'm going to link to
(12:14):
it as well as all of the others on the show
notes page for this episode
going beyond just basic websites or
literary magazines here are a few other
apps and places where i can really find
things to enhance my learning journey
first the libby library app this app
connects you to your local library's
collection of ebooks and audiobooks it
(12:37):
includes poetry collections of course but
it's a really great way to download books
straight to your phone or your tablet and
read them totally free
you do need a library card for your local
library based on your county or your city
but that's not hard to get you can even do
it online these days once you have it you
register it with a libby app and then you
(12:58):
can go forward downloading free books
another place that you may not be thinking
about for
learning resources is tiktok
specifically booktalk we have a new
columnist named kristen britta at the
poetry lab resource center and she's been
onboarding us all with how to use booktalk
(13:18):
she has two articles out already i'll link
to both of them in the show notes but
definitely check them out the series is
called dispatches from booktalk
along with learning through social media
i have to admit that i turn to youtube more
often than not when i'm trying to learn
something new like how to reset my internet router
(13:40):
when i was researching even how to set up a
podcast i turned to youtube videos
there's lots of poetry resources on youtube
kelsey wrote an article all about how to
find poetry on youtube and then we'll also
link to that in the show notes page for
this episode
let's talk about ai tools
(14:00):
do you remember last summer when every
other news article you saw was
contemplating death by ai
it was the end of everything soon we'd all
be unemployed illiterate and obeying our
robot overlords i mean it sounds like tom
cruise already made that movie but i was
never worried ai would replace us
especially riders i know these large
(14:23):
language models are always learning as they
go but still
have you ever actually read some of the
things that these things produce
why does chat gpt love the word delve so much
but seriously ai tools can help make things
a little bit easier on you
how
well say you're editing a poem and you've
(14:45):
come to that moment when it's time to
examine your diction closely you could
start by circling all of your verbs and
asking yourself if there's a way to make
them stronger to add more immediacy to your piece
you could ask ai to generate a list of new
verb suggestions for you sort of like using
it as a thesaurus
but you can ask more complex questions to
(15:06):
ai as well for example you could ask for a
list of words of a certain length or
syllable count and you can easily google
all of these things but ai saves you time
and it's easier to curate your results in
literal seconds i might do another whole
episode on riding with ai tools but for now
let's review what free tools are out there
(15:27):
first there's chat gpt by openai
it's a versatile ai language model that can
assist you with a wide range of writing
tasks it can generate creative content
brainstorm ideas one of my favorite prompts
for chat gpt is to give it something i've
worked on or outlined
and to ask it what's missing there is a
(15:49):
slight learning curve to figuring out how
to work with a large language model ai
and my best tip is to always just look back
at the name it's called chat gpt for a
reason you're literally supposed to chat
with it so you ask it
conversational questions really build out
your prompts and ask it exactly what you
(16:12):
want from it and then if you receive an
answer that has the word delve
anywhere in it you can always ask gpt to
tone it down a notch and rewrite another ai
writing assistant is called jasper it helps
content creators marketers and copywriters
it excels at generating high quality
(16:32):
content quickly including blog posts or
social media updates
again
it can't replace us so while you might get
a first draft out of something like jasper
you always want to go through fact check
and edit and improve the writing quality
i don't suggest that you just let large
(16:52):
language models write for you but like i
said it can assist you especially if you
need help generating a list or some ideas
gemini is google's ai powered assistant
it's now integrated into various google
products it was launched as part of
google's effort to enhance productivity and
user experience ai combines conversational
(17:15):
ai and an advanced machine learning
technique to improve smart assistance
across its different tasks
microsoft has their own version called
copilot it's been integrated
into microsoft365 which means you can use
it in word excel powerpoint copilot
leverages advanced ai models to assist
(17:36):
users in drafting editing and summarizing
and automating some tasks in word it can
help you with content generation and in
excel with data analysis
and that doesn't sound too bad for someone
who's terrible at math
but honestly as i talk about it all i'm
thinking about is the giant paper clip
clippy that used to pop up when you were
(17:57):
using microsoft word i mean if they were
really smart they would have named it
clippy and not copilot but i digress
well that's it for today's episode i hope
these resources help you on your journey to
becoming the best rider you can be
without breaking the literal bank remember
at the poetry lab we're all about making
creative learning accessible to everyone so
(18:19):

definitely check them out the series is
called dispatches from booktalk
along with learning through social media
i have to admit that i turn to youtube more
often than not when i'm trying to learn
something new like how to reset my internet router
(13:40):
when i was researching even how to set up a
podcast i turned to youtube videos
there's lots of poetry resources on youtube
kelsey wrote an article all about how to
find poetry on youtube and then we'll also
link to that in the show notes page for
this episode
let's talk about ai tools
(14:00):
do you remember last summer when every
other news article you saw was
contemplating death by ai
it was the end of everything soon we'd all
be unemployed illiterate and obeying our
robot overlords i mean it sounds like tom
cruise already made that movie but i was
never worried ai would replace us
especially riders i know these large
(14:23):
language models are always learning as they
go but still
have you ever actually read some of the
things that these things produce
why does chat gpt love the word delve so much
but seriously ai tools can help make things
a little bit easier on you
how
well say you're editing a poem and you've
(14:45):
come to that moment when it's time to
examine your diction closely you could
start by circling all of your verbs and
asking yourself if there's a way to make
them stronger to add more immediacy to your piece
you could ask ai to generate a list of new
verb suggestions for you sort of like using
it as a thesaurus
but you can ask more complex questions to
(15:06):
ai as well for example you could ask for a
list of words of a certain length or
syllable count and you can easily google
all of these things but ai saves you time
and it's easier to curate your results in
literal seconds i might do another whole
episode on riding with ai tools but for now
let's review what free tools are out there
(15:27):
first there's chat gpt by openai
it's a versatile ai language model that can
assist you with a wide range of writing
tasks it can generate creative content
brainstorm ideas one of my favorite prompts
for chat gpt is to give it something i've
worked on or outlined
and to ask it what's missing there is a
(15:49):
slight learning curve to figuring out how
to work with a large language model ai
and my best tip is to always just look back
at the name it's called chat gpt for a
reason you're literally supposed to chat
with it so you ask it
conversational questions really build out
your prompts and ask it exactly what you
(16:12):
want from it and then if you receive an
answer that has the word delve
anywhere in it you can always ask gpt to
tone it down a notch and rewrite another ai
writing assistant is called jasper it helps
content creators marketers and copywriters
it excels at generating high quality
(16:32):
content quickly including blog posts or
social media updates
again
it can't replace us so while you might get
a first draft out of something like jasper
you always want to go through fact check
and edit and improve the writing quality
i don't suggest that you just let large
(16:52):
language models write for you but like i
said it can assist you especially if you
need help generating a list or some ideas
gemini is google's ai powered assistant
it's now integrated into various google
products it was launched as part of
google's effort to enhance productivity and
user experience ai combines conversational
(17:15):
ai and an advanced machine learning
technique to improve smart assistance
across its different tasks
microsoft has their own version called
copilot it's been integrated
into microsoft365 which means you can use
it in word excel powerpoint copilot
leverages advanced ai models to assist
(17:36):
users in drafting editing and summarizing
and automating some tasks in word it can
help you with content generation and in
excel with data analysis
and that doesn't sound too bad for someone
who's terrible at math
but honestly as i talk about it all i'm
thinking about is the giant paper clip
clippy that used to pop up when you were
(17:57):
using microsoft word i mean if they were
really smart they would have named it
clippy and not copilot but i digress
well that's it for today's episode i hope
these resources help you on your journey to
becoming the best rider you can be
