Two books overlapping each other. “44 Poems on Being with Each Other” an anthology, and “Kitchen Hymns “ by Pádraig Ó Tuama. Posting this as and admonition to read good books an share good poems with the broader community

It’s important to be informed but it’s equally important to be nourished. Let’s make sustainable spaces for our souls. Let’s feed our imaginations and then use them to cultivate generative communities and beautiful futures. #44PoemsOnBeingWithEachOther #KitchenHymns #OnBeing #poetry

A line drawing of the poet of Padraig O’Tuama by Evalyn Lee with the handwritten words: ‘Making’ a vocation before religion. To make a poem, a friend, a change, a loaf of bread. It would be a crisis for me to lose the making, small act of pulling yourself together.’

Still thinking about Pádraig Ó Tuama’s discussion @southwarkcathedral.bsky.social about the vocation of ‘making’ preceding religion: “to make a poem, a friend, a change, a loaf of bread.” #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #onbeing #poetryunbound #KitchenHymns #44PoemsOnBeingWithEachOther
