iF poetry app

Tatler November 2012

Tatler magazine is a good one for promoting poetry, which I rather enjoy. A few months back, I published the bit about Simon Armitage, now we've got Allie Esiri. She is not a poet, but she and her friend have come up with a poetry app. iF Poems, an anthology app with more that 200 poems for Mac products. It is illustrated. And the poems are read by the very famous friends that she has ... Helena Bonham Carter, Bill Nighy, etc. Apparently, one can record one's own poem or reading and send it along to friends and family. How clever.

Sadly, the app is only available for IPhone or IPad or ITouch ... so I'm out. I would think that it would get working on my Mac, but no such luck. I will imagine that it is fabulous. How could it not be?

who I am ...

If radio killed the video star, then social media killed magazines. They have not gone away, but they are not what they once were. And so much of the content is immediately available on Instagram, etc. I still subscribe to Vogue as a hold onto the life that I have lived with magazines. And I look for home magazines, which I enjoy for house and garden inspiration. I have let this little blog go, but I cannot fully cut the cord. I do have a habit of holding on. I am determined, after receiving several lovely comments, to continue to contribute to these pages. My goal is to write once per month. And my hope is that content will find me, and you will find it interesting.
