The Poeming Pigeon: Pop Culture
Popular Culture is the accumulation of cultural products such as music, art, literature, fashion, dance, film, cyber-culture, television and radio that are consumed by the majority of a society’s population. One of the main characteristics of pop culture is its accessibility to the masses and that it exists or predominates in a society at a certain point in time.
We want this to be a FUN issue! You can write about all those topics you thought were taboo for poetry. Got a poem about house-training your pet rock? We want to read it. Do you know every episode of The Brady Bunch by heart—write a poem. Put down those fidget-spinners and let those digits fly across the keyboard. Keep in mind, your poem does not have to be about “current” pop culture. Feel free to pick your favorite decade; each one has been marked by a variety of pop culture and fads. We can’t wait to read your fad-fabulous poetry!
