Lucille Clifton said: "Poems come out of wonder, not knowing." In this newsletter, I'll take one question that we wonder about as humans like:
What are we doing with these weird, meat-suit bodies? How do we write about terror while simultaneously remembering beauty? Why does it seem like we hurt each other more than we help each other? And why in the heck are we even here?
So, you know, all the little, no-big-deal questions :) And the list will be ever-evolving.
I'll pick one to three writers a newsletter (spoiler alert: they are more likely than not going to be poets), and we'll walk through some of their writing to see how they get at these questions. I'll also insert my own life experiences along the way, though I'll mostly be writing about others' work. You can expect to hear from me on a semi-regular basis (once, maybe twice a month-ish).
If that sounds cool to you, yay! Pop your email in the box thingy--I never share your email or track your analytics. And, if it turns out to not be your thing, you can unsubscribe at any time.
