Our first full week back from hiatus (Mon., 5/27, - Sat., 6/1) will be a multi-Hosted week focusing in depth on the poetry of Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Please comment on this post if you would like to participate - you are equally welcome to claim a specific day to Host yourself, or to look for collaborators to co-Host a day as group. Specific days are available on a first-come, first-served basis; specific poems can be the focus of multiple days.

What kind of content might you post? We welcome content in any medium that translates, transforms, or otherwise revitalizes how someone might (re)visit one or more of Dr. Seuss' poems. Feel free to browse the tags of previous multi-Hosted weeks, such as Poetry Complements and One Poem In Depth - Julia Stein's "Downtown Women" for ideas, or ask the admins directly - we're happy to help.

Although the full written text of every Dr. Seuss poem remains under copyright and cannot be posted directly to the comm, fair use permits (and we enthusiastically encourage) quoting specific lines; hyperlinking to full text posted elsewhere; embedding audio or video performances of a particular poem's full text (such performances count as transformative works in their own right); creating illustrations for the text; writing and posting poetry in the style of or otherwise inspired by particular Dr. Seuss poems; or otherwise translating all or part of a particular poem's text into a different language or medium other than typed English.

I... really have a thing for How the Grinch Stole Christmas and Oh! The Places You'll Go, but I'm not sure that I could talk about them coherently as poems per se; the best I can do is talking about what they mean to me and why. Would this be an acceptable piece of content?

I'd like to collaborate with several people on recording short excerpts (< 1 min.) from various Dr. Seuss poems for Wednesday. If this is something you might be interested in, please reply to this comment thread or send me a PM.

ETA: excerpt no. 1 will be from 'Fox in Socks' - see this Tongue Twister Challenge post at my DW journal.

I would love to do a post about "Oh the Places You'll Go" and graduation rituals. Thursday would be great.
