Like I am now. 😭

“Prayer is no single action nor single dream but a space that holds them all, a space whose contours transform with our own histories, actions, and reactions. Just like with water, Alexis uses our preconceived notion of prayer to highlight its flexibility…”

Poetry, Healing, and the Spirit of Survival: A Conversation with Nadia Alexis - The Rumpus My understanding of survival has evolved. I am interested in the idea that we go through a journey of creating ourselves as humans.

Congratulations to @cavankerrypress.bsky.social author @nadiaalexis.bsky.social on the pub of BEYOND THE WATERSHED and this interview in @therumpus.net

quote from Shannon Luders-Manuel's book, The One Who Loves You, stating "I smiled, feeling at once both highly conspicuous and completely invisible."

My fellow sister scribe, Shannon Luders-Manuel, from the Reed, Write and Create Sanctuary published her memoir, The One Who Loves You.
It is heartbreaking, enlightening, and hopeful. My full thoughts on Substack:

YouTube video by Hiba Tahir What can art & writing offer us in 2025? Five poets weigh in!

This took FOREVER to make, and I felt so bad asking this question all season. But everyone delivered! So grateful to live and write in a world where these poets and their words exist.

I should delete my twitter account since I’m barely there.

But I’ve had it for so long and I first joined it when it was actually a wholesome place to be. 😭

I’ll just say they aren’t something I would wear. But maybe someone else would style them well 😅

Hey y’all, my virtual book launch for Beyond the Watershed is next Tuesday, March 18th at 7pm eastern but required RSVPs close in a few days.

Join Aimee and me for poetry, conversation, good energy, and a Q&A. Spots are filling up.

Will you be joining us? RSVP today: t.co/aBoim3jhWi
