Inspired by their mentor Edvidge Giunta , in 2010 Melida co-created a group of storytelling enthusiasts in a distinctive tradition of crafting concise 100-word poems. Through the years, the group has included poets from Jersey City combined with writers from other parts of North America.
Picture this: Seven wordsmiths taking turns spinning narratives, each allotted a particular day of the week in a poetic relay. New groups are established every 6 months.
In 2019, during the recent COVID pandemic, Melida and her fellow poets transitioned their creative pursuit to the digital domain, showcasing their artistic talents to a wider audience. They formed a 100 Words online writing circle named "From Seven Voices." An online anthology by this collective presents a diverse array of literary forms, ranging from succinct stories and memoir vignettes to poems by multicultural authors.
