The great people over at Rap Genius have published all 30 of the poems from the 30 Days of Weezy Project on their site, and I am slowly annotating them along with some help from my poetry collaborators, Geoff Munsterman and Gina Myers.
They are calling the Weezy poems: "An Epic Poem for our Times"
*Love*
You can see all the annotations under my album.
This is as close I will probably ever get to being a rap star.
Poetry Genius also has a nice blog post about the project focusing on the collaborations as well.
It begins:
For National Poetry Month last April, New Orleans writer Megan Burns set out on a mission to write 30 poems in 30 days, all about Lil Wayne. Mission accomplished! In a truly Rap Genius-esque collaborative effort, Burns partnered with fellow authors Gina Myers and Geoff Munsterman to complete 30 Days of Weezy—and now all 30 poems are on the site with killer Verified annotations!
Burns kicks off Day 1 of the series with an “epistolary response” to a Lil Wayne quote about how some women have “deep and dark” reasons for not being able to love.
Weezy and I thank you for all the love, Rap Genius and Poetry Genius!
