A Twitterific Year

By Allen Taylor

Allen Taylor created the #twitpoem hashtag in 2009 and has steadily published Twitter poems under that hashtag since then. In 2013, he started publishing three Twitter poems a day. Other poets have followed suit and now publish their own Twitter poems under the hashtag.

A Twitterific Year is a collection of more than 1,000 Twitter poems. Almost 150 are original never-before-published poems.

Using humor, uncanny word play, insight into the human condition, provocative language, and raw poetic line constructions, Allen will surprise and intrique you with poetry that is destined to change how poetry is written in the 21st century.

Allen Taylor

Allen Taylor is a published poet and fiction writer, former newspaper editor and award-winning journalist, and a professional content writer for businesses. He is a small group leader at his church, has lead worship, and has, on a few occasions, delivered a sermon. He’s also smoked a few cigars. A late bloomer, he is beyond the age of fifty, married to a beautiful woman with three adult children (two of whom call him “Dad”), and is a proud Poppy to four incredible grandchildren with whom he loves to play. He is also the founder at Crux Publications, as cliché as it is (it’s also true), the chief bottle washer.
