Revised Edition 2024
Ever felt like your voices had frozen within your heart like ships at a port longing for its freedom? Writing poetry by inventing forms or following classic ones are one of the best ways that help with writer’s block.
The Form Runners And Inventors Challenge is Ink Gladiators Press’ first workbook. It was conducted by Our Earthians Community Group on Instagram and is the third book in The Challenge Collection. Our authors invented new poetic forms by giving them new paths so runners could find and run along with them. The forms in this book were selected based on originality, popularity and simplicity of rules for others to follow. The Form Inventors also handpicked their first Form Runners to get published in this anthology.
If you are someone working through a writer’s block but who also enjoys working on new poetry forms, then this is tailor made for you.
