Lit pool

A lit pool refers to a designated collection or set of literary works, often short fiction or poetry, curated and prepared for a specific purpose. This purpose can range from academic study and literary analysis to contest submission or performance. The key aspect of a lit pool is that the included pieces are considered high-quality, representative of a particular style or theme, or otherwise suitable for the intended use case. The selection process for creating a lit pool typically involves careful consideration of factors such as literary merit, originality, and adherence to specific guidelines or criteria. The term can also be used more informally to describe a personal collection of admired works, acting as a source of inspiration or a benchmark for one's own writing.
