POETICKS: ON IMAGERY FINALLY RELEASED
About
`poeticks is an old idea that has been kicked around by a few writers on deviantArt, created to collect the answers to fundamental questions such as "What is poetry?" and "How does one write poetry?" which each individual keeps in their own minds, and adheres to, and hones, and in many cases is constrained to (perhaps consciously, perhaps unconsciously).
This is a community, and as members, all have certain expectations of certain interactions, perhaps a hope of sublimation by the convergence of each of their talents and thoughts.
Our objective is to collect the words and wisdom, thoughts and perspectives of the literary minds across deviantArt upon topics that will cover a broad range of issues concerning the process and nature of the writing craft, and then to present this back to the community as material to be referenced.
Who
Who is `poeticks? You. The writers of deviantArt.
The reason the staff of `poeticks remains anonymous, is because the essence of `poeticks and the raison d'etre of `poeticks is what "you" provide, not what we provide (for we provide nothing but what you provide us with), and we want to put as much emphasis and validity where it is due. Revealing the staff will no doubt provide you with comfort, and supply your curiosity, but will also be an extraneous criteria for judgement. We wish to be regarded as "`poeticks", not "a couple of writers doing this thing called `poeticks". We would like to differentiate between our own individual internet personae and works, with what `poeticks strives to provide, for it is not us who is `poeticks, but it is you writers who do 90% of our work.

Projects
~Compilations:
These are questionnaires etc. sent to an array of writers (new and old) on deviantArt on various topics. We provide follow-up questions to elaborate on each individual responses and compile the writers' views into a resource to be read by the community as a whole.
Our first compilation focused on the term "Angst" in terms of poetry, and can be found here.
Poeticks on Angst 1 of 2Poeticks on Angst 2 of 2Our second compilation is now in progress. Updates can be found here.

~Forum Project
In an attempt to ameliorate the quality of the writing community, Poeticks will be planning out a project that will hopefully rid the literary forum from threads with recurring topics, by hosting those topics in our journal. Part 1 is now up and running.
