    Finding Your Inner Persona

    In this episode, Chase and Sergio discuss finding your inner persona as a writer.  Chase has been taking a Masterclass with the renowned poet Billy Collins, and in doing so, it's helped him discover more things about himself as a writer, as an individual, and it's inspired his writing voice; something that all writers must find in order to create a unique reading experience for others.  Chase and Sergio run through some of theses discoveries, and hopefully, you can start to ask yourself some of the same questions to help you find your own style as a writer.  Don't forget to follow pspoets on IG: @pspoets and visit us online at pspoets.com

    Screenplays

    In this episode, Co-founders Chase and Sergio talk about the formula behind writing screenplays.  Much like theatrical plays, the structure of a screenplay can be broken up into three acts. However, within those acts, the screenwriter must take into consideration the visual aspect of the camera; creating a cinematic experience that also helps tell the story and drive the objective of characters.  If you're an aspiring screenwriter looking to write your first project, or if you're looking for some insightful reads on how to learn more about screenwriting, this episode has some useful information for you!

    Learning About Poetic Forms

    Chase and Sergio are back again for another podcast episode about poetic forms and what you can do to improve your knowledge of poetry.  More often than not, writers just sit down and regurgitate ideas onto the page. However, if you can learn about the historic forms of poetry and know how to write different versions; sonnets, villanelles, prose poems, stanzas, ballads, etc.; you then learn how to adapt your poetic sensibilities into a well-tuned craft, rather than a hobby or daily journal entry.  Great poetry requires patience and dedication to writing, and pspoets is here to offer some insight about what you can do to enlighten your skills with intention and purpose.  That said, you can also learn more about pspoets at pspoets.com or follow us on IG: @pspoets Thanks again for listening!  -pspoets

    COVID-19: A Discussion with PSPOETS

    This week, our Co-Founders, Chase Maser and Sergio Cacciotti, conference call in to discuss a recent trip that Chase took to the Mid-west to film a documentary about COVID-19 and women of color on the frontlines of health care.  PSPOETS is all about the arts, but given the widespread nature of this topic, we feel it's important to have these conversations and to inform our followers about the reality of what's going on around the country. To put it simply, people are getting sick from COVID-19 and people are dying. The rumors and confusion about COVID-19 being a hoax could not be further from the truth. In this episode, you can hear first-hand from Chase's experience with these health care professionals; their stories about patients and loved ones who have passed away, and hopefully, you'll be able to have a better understanding of the virus and what you can do to stay safe.  Be sure to follow @pspoets on Instagram, and don't forget to check out our website: pspoets.com to learn more.  Also, here is a link to Sergio's latest blog post about creative writing: https://www.pspoets.com/blog/2020/6/23/intro-to-creative-writing-with-sergio-cacciotti -PSPOETS
