March - Theme and Program:
The month of March, here on the Poemas da Nonô blog,
will be totally dedicated to flowers. The schedule will be slightly changed.
There are updates on interim days, that is, every other day. Here the idea is
half the quantity, twice the quality.
The themes continue to appear on the same days of the
week, but now every 15 days:
Monday - Childhood Reborn
Tuesday - Platonic Loves or Soulmate
Wednesday - Worldly Poetry
Thursday - Catharsis of Words
Friday - This Poem is not mine and Dialogue between Poems
Saturdays - Quatrains
Sundays - Haikus
This schedule is only changed when the following two
new themes arise:
- In the third of March - we have Stroryem - a poem
about a historical event, legend, ephemeris, personality, etc.
- On the last Thursday of the month - we have Newsoetry
- a poetry written about current news or events.
The letter for this month is:
Gabriola
The blog image is:
changed from the 1st to the 31st of March.
On April 1, a new theme will begin, on that day I will
tell you what it is.
My photo for this month is:
February balance:
The month of February 2021 was entirely dedicated to
love. Fortunately, a large part of the creation of the poems was ensured during
the month of January, as last month it was difficult to maintain the regular
schedule of videos and podcasts because another project needed my energy and
focus. I have been making contacts with illustrators to prepare a new book of
illustrated poetry entitled “Animal Poetics”. I managed to gather 17
illustrators in all, 14 Portuguese, 2 Brazilian and 1 Spanish. The management
of this project prevented the normal creation of videos.
However, the contract with the publisher Flamingo,
included in the Editorial Atlantic Group, has already been signed. Soon I will
announce the launch date of this project that I am very proud to have
participated and organized with a group of 22 people. I feel a deep gratitude
for having attracted this project to my life and for having counted on the help
of all these people, because without them it would not have been possible, in a
record time (20 days) to write a book.
When I know the date of publication of this book, I
will gladly announce it.
I show here the illustration that I drew for the book
and that illustrates a poem entitled “The cows graze in the field”
Last month I started having podcasts of poems here on
the blog. Another way to spread the written word and reach a larger number of
people.
The logo of the Nonô Poems
blog was also changed last month:
All these events left me bubbling with creativity. I
have several ideas to put into practice and as in addition to the blog I have a
full-time job, to be able to meet the schedule and raise the quality levels, I
find myself in the obligation to reduce the number of blog updates. I will
continue to work behind the scenes to create other projects around writing and
poetic creation in its different aspects.
Invitation:
I invite all those who are interested to illustrate
poems of my own. They can be professionals or amateurs. They just need to
contact me via email: marialeonorcost@gmail.com
I am also available for partnerships around the arts
and letters.
I hope you enjoy what I have been preparing with all
the love and care. Feel free to comment and enjoy the best of my work!
Nonô (M.ª Leonor Costa)
