Just a few 📸s from @poetshouse.bsky.social :: it’s important we gather, connect. 🖤 thank you for a beautiful day.
Reading at @poetshouse.bsky.social this Saturday for their 40th anniversary with a fantastic lineup of poets :: had to move to the third block starting at 4 PM due to scheduling but can’t wait to celebrate with you all 🖤
In this six-week, online workshop w/ @rosebudbenoni.bsky.social, we'll explore the different facets of writing about sensory perceptions, movement, and of course, the body. We'll work to re-center our narratives, draw new inspiration & find autonomy in our voices. brooklynpoets.org/workshop/p/p...

My first poem from :: S P A C E H O R S E ::
I’ve been trying to explain certain things to my niece. I tell her not to “get geese” & then will do, have done, the opposite. This poem came from that.
