Climbing the stairs clasping an axe. Climbing the stairs clasping the axe. This is my last thought before my head bounces on the landing. You got me first. Classic us. Classic you. Cinematic classic. My body stays upright afterwards, something for you to hold, which you do. - from Half-Life by Eleanor Tennyson

"Persona Digitalia is a book of pairs, two versions of a treated and duplicated image, each housed in its own grid... They represent the double self. We are often an alternate version[s] of ourselves. The truth is often both things or multiple things." - (@photoworks-uk.bsky.social, 2025)

Some stories or moments in history may not have been documented, but they live on in our bones. @kgapoetwriter.bsky.social is teaching a workshop focusing on excavating those hidden stories. We will explore what hasnβt been said or what still demands to be seen through the form of the persona poem.

A Vowel's Music Noa Micaela Fields Voyage into the secret lives of vowels, the subtle and sensual building blocks of poetry's music.
Guided by mouthfeel and playful ear-sense, we will attune to the power of vowels as vessels for sonic improvisation and rhetorical structure.
Noa Micaela Fields is an echodeviant* (trans poet with hearing aids) in search of the hypervivid in her one and only captionless life. Her debut poetry collection E, a trans remix of Louis Zukofsky's "A", is forthcoming from Nightboat Books. She is currently based in Chicago.
@doyounoapoet.bsky.social is teaching an in person 3-hour workshop with us on November 22nd from 1:30-2:30PM on "a vowel's music."
