The purpose of the
Splendid Wake-up blog is to bring systematic attention to the Splendid Wake
project, a massive endeavor to document poets and poetry in the Greater
Washington, DC area from 1900 to current day.
The Splendid Wake-up blog supports the Splendid
Wake project goal to get people to write about poets, poetry events, poetry
movement, and anything that was produced or happened within the geography and
timeframe named and then to send these essays to the wiki administered through
Special Collections of the Gelman Library at The George Washington University.
How to submit to the
Splendid Wake wiki: Send essays, biographies, vignettes to Jennifer King at
JenKing @ gwu.edu.
