QuickMuse
Submitted by: dsendecki

QuickMuse is a cutting contest, a linguistic jam session, a series of on-the-fly compositions in which some great poets riff away on a randomly picked subject. It's an experiment, QuickMuse, to see if first thoughts are indeed the best ones. We're not entirely sure about this, but we suspect QuickMuse will bring readers closer to the moment of composition than they have ever been before. Best part: our "playback" feature lets you watch the poems unfold, second by second. Or as Thlyias Moss says, it's "the chance for a poem to find its/audience fast," in which words don't "have as much/time to stale, pale/lose the relevance of the moment" to which they belong.

Pretty entertaining...

anthrasulaIt's a pretty fascinating thing to watch, I have to say, and especially when combined with the caliber of writers they've gotten to participate -- Robert Pinsky, Rick Moody, Neal Pollack and Jeffrey McDaniel, and a lot more. Definitely check it out when you have a chance, but be warned that you should have plenty of free time at your disposal too; this site will definitely suck you in.
