NaPoWriMo Day 25! Substack Version

Prompt: Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem based on the Proust Questionaire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P… a set of questions drawn from Victorian-era parlor games, and adapted by modern interviewers newyorker.com/books/pag…. You could choose to answer the whole questionnaire, and then write a poem based on your answers, answer just a few, or just write a poem that’s based on the questions. You could even write a poem in the form of an entirely new Proust Questionnaire. We have a fairly standard, 35-question version of the questionnaire laid out for you below.

And remember, if it works for you, come back here to this Note to share your poem, your process, your thoughts. Or a link taking us there.

Happy Writing, Everyone!
