30 Poems in 30 Days: Writing Prompts from Philip Marley and Tiferet Journal

Writing prompts for Tiferet’s April 2016 Poem-A-Thon were provided by fellow poet and writer, Philip Marley. Philip really encouraged our participants to reach, and they rose to the creative challenge.

In this book, you will find the exact prompts the poets were given each day, as well as one poem from a participant written using that prompt, to showcase the beautiful words one can write by just letting the words flow freely.

2016 Poem Prompts cover

Testimonial

“As a relatively new and unpublished poet, save for Tiferet, your 2016 Poem-A-Thon served not only as an exciting opportunity, but the precise challenge I needed to solidify my commitment to writing. The chosen prompts were most thoughtful, allowing for wide interpretations while providing a framework from which to explore. There were those that challenged me more than others, giving me new landscapes to walk upon. Receiving the prompts became the highlight of my days. I would recommend this to anyone, and I look forward to returning in 2017.”

Thank you, Alexsondra Tomasulo

It is our hope this offering from TIFERET will stimulate your own creative processes and inspire you to write.
