Let's be real: poetry is often treated like the wayward stepchild of the writing world. It doesn't sell as well as other genres, so it's not produced in the same quantities. But sales don't equal love, and in April, poetry takes center stage in NaPoWriMo (aka National Poetry Writing Month).
Much like its better-known cousin, NaNoWriMo, NaPoWriMo is a month devoted to poetry.

The last few weeks have not been pretty for journalists serving communities across the country.
Each day seemed to bring another gut-punch to the industry. If this were the manufacturing industry, cries to find ways to save factories and jobs would be heard from the county courthouse to the White House.
Instead ... quiet resignation.

If there's one thing you can count on in modern life, one truism that will never let you down, it is this: You want more Gs. That's true in the thousands-of-dollars sense, and it's definitely true in the better-mobile-networks sense.
And from a media perspective, better networks tend to produce, or at least emphasize, different types of content. The first iPhone allowed only 2G data.

Medium calls itself a publisher and a platform. But founder Ev Williams thinks partnerships with outside editors and other publications could play a bigger role in Medium's continued subscriber growth. To get there, Medium will have to overcome publisher skepticism after changing its tactics several times since its 2011 launch.

Microsoft has announced that it will close the books category of its digital store. While other software and apps will still be available via the virtual shop front, and on purchasers' consoles and devices, the closure of the eBook store takes with it customers' eBook libraries. Any digital books bought through the service — even those bought many years ago — will no longer be readable after July 2019.

RIP, "town square." Hello, "living room." In case you missed it, in a single blog post last month Mark Zuckerberg quietly upended the world of social media. Gone (or nearly so) is the quaint idea of social media as a public broadcast channel or "town square" — a way for anyone to reach a mass audience, start a dialogue and change the world. It was an inspiring vision, to be sure, but one undone by trolls and data mining, invasive ads, Russian interference and addictive algorithms.

With Facebook continuing to push its Watch Party and group communal video viewing options, it comes as little surprise to see that Instagram is testing a similar function within its app.
As spotted by reverse engineering expert Jane Manchun Wong, Instagram is experimenting with a new option which would enable users to view on-platform video content with a friend, while also seeing their reactions on screen via the phone camera.

As a writer, I find gardens essential to the creative process; as a physician, I take my patients to gardens whenever possible. All of us have had the experience of wandering through a lush garden or a timeless desert, walking by a river or an ocean, or climbing a mountain and finding ourselves simultaneously calmed and reinvigorated, engaged in mind, refreshed in body and spirit.

Gardeners who take a look at what's growing in their backyard (or, in the case of city dwellers, on their windowsills and even fire escapes), can clearly see that the idea of gardening has evolved. While the hobby is as popular as ever, the days of blooming perennials, roses and white picket fences have faded.
