Freedom Writers

I stumbled upon some astoundingly good writing, quite by accident, which I suppose is an appeal of blogs and the Internet:

Freedom Writers

The writers of this blog, according to the introduction, are prisoners in the federal system and the webmaster of the blog receives emails from them and posts their stories. This post should not serve as a review of the inmates’ work, which are by and large incredible works of poetry and prose, and not compared with what else someone might expect to come out of the joint, but on a scale of great works. If there was ever a silver lining, these men have found it.

 

Blog Search Part 1

I took a look at each blog on the first page of the “recent posts” under each tag and picked the following:

Poetry
Noah the Great is local.
Ocellus uses wordplay.
Monday’s Verse reviews.
Nectarfizz is multigenre.

Literature
Moderato is high art.
Moments in Erasure excerpts.
Scathing Book Reviews is self-explanatory.

Short Stories
Art of Storytelling is wordy.
Attack of the 50 Foot Book has little pictures of books.
The Book-Eater is hungry.

Classics
One Minute Book Reviews are pithy.

Books
Bertram’s Blog is educational.
Urban Fantasy Land has lots of links.

Writing
An Unreliable Narrator uses profanity.

Fiction
The Books of my Numberless Dreams is high-concept.
Read it or Weep is by a library reference staff.
