One <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeliterature.com\/twihaiku\/twitter-poetry\">fairly complex moderated Twitter Haiku collective<\/a> from Phil Boiarski.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll also contrast <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/patrickherron\">@PatrickHerron<\/a>&#8216;s use of Twitter based on this statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I often use twitter in series posts (1of2, 2of2, etc.) to go just a little bit further than aphorisms. Or to just sort of &#8220;toss up&#8221; fragments of text that are scheduled to land in pieces in my new project.  Twitter then acts as a sort of &#8216;locus of detachment&#8221; where I can put things in public and be done with the personal dimension once and for all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>with Philip <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/boiarski\">Boiarsk<\/a>i&#8217;s much more personal statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\nTwitter has been a life saver for me as a poet.  I have a real life gig to support my poetry habit.  Now, in my : ( sixty fourth year under heaven, I am not, by nature, a man who takes lightly his obligations to spouse and family.  How one dares to have a family, a life, more than a tent and a horse, the muse has yet to explain to me.  My workday doesn&#8217;t make it easy to make notes, or jot down ideas for poems, lines that come to me, etc. The 140 characters in a tweet seem to me to be of a perfect length to hold in mind until a minute frees up to iPhone, keyboard, thwirl, them in.  I now link them to my blog about writing and am running there a &#8220;Twitter Experiment&#8221; (It&#8217;s at <a href=\"http:\/\/boiarskitheblog.blogspot.com\/\">Boiarski theblog<\/a> if you want to see). I have thousand plus fans many of whom are poets, avid readers, amateurs, etc. and they react and clue me as to what hits a chord, what I might take time to write further into on the weekend or evenings.  So for me, the tweet has taken the place of the little ring notebook I used to carry in my pocket.  But now, I write it where a thousand folks can read and react.  I have a friendly place to try out my words and objective input into what communicated to real folks and not to just my idea of an audience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And these two notes from Robin Black:<\/p>\n<p>1) Best 140-character story submitted to our booth at <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%23BrooklynBookFestival\">#BrooklynBookFestival<\/a> or tweeted to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/onestorymag\">@onestorymag<\/a> <http:\/\/twitter.com\/onestorymag> wins subscription + dinner with OS staff<\/p>\n<p>2) Georgia Review recently blogged about what Michael Martone is doing with Twitter.
