Inspired by a similar type of post found on Electric Literature‘s website, The Monday Post is a collection of articles for writers and readers as well as a sampling of interesting works and publications from across the internet. They may be old links or new links, but they’ll be ones that I find the most interesting or helpful. If there are any particular topics you’d like to read about, please feel free to suggest them in a comment on this post. In addition, each new month will feature a new and interesting quote from an established expert in the literary field.
Writers and readers may find additional links and featured writers in The Monday Post archive. Please follow my blog for writing prompts, commentary, reviews, and more!

SPECIAL EDITION of Featured Writers: LTAB Poets
This week I am devoting the Featured Writers section to a few of my favorite (<— can’t stress this enough) performances from the first round semifinals at the Joslyn Art Museum for Louder Than a Bomb Great Plains. I hope you enjoy the poems of these talented young people.
