at the poetry workshop on friendship, all my poems were love letters to friends in LA—heart is breaking

Doing some thinking on the Speaker of the poems I write. I have experimented with shifts in perspective, or the speaker representing a collective. Sometimes my speaker is internal to the poem, sometimes it's an external narrator. But what about inanimate speakers? The knife's perspective as it cuts flesh, the bone's perspective as it's ripped free, the perspective of the sand as water carries it up and down the shore.

what surprise?

whispered in hallways spoken in secret reverberating 'twixt time and space it's never quiet here but i am waiting, always waiting for shadows to take form and eventually show their face so far, and yet, so near i walk in a faceless world i look behind, i sense something here i shake, i shiver, i tremble with fear the ringing in my ear keeps pace with the jackhammer heart against my cemented rib cage i have come too far; i must be brave i unlock my frozen tongue and say, it's never quiet here but i will wait for silence i will hold for grace

- a collaborative poem written in the #Sparkipoemi zoom workshops this past weekend by @emipoemi, @julesgems, talia_loveitpoet (IG) and myself

Hi friends!! This may be a long shot actually, because I feel like everyone here already has an idea of their writing style / their own writing process but!! My work (woohoo @simslibraryofpoetry) is launching this level one Poetry Class called the 44 Poetry Class.

It’s aimed for beginner poets, poets who are finding their way back to writing, & even folks who are curious about poetry. I wanted to share it here on my personal blog, because I think it’s a great opportunity for folks looking for their literary home/need a community to carefully read & workshop their work. I’m also thinking of taking the class! As some of you know, I’m a creative nonfiction writer. Genres are blurry for me most of the time, but there is something about poems that stitch me back together after a long day. Both writing & reading them. If nothing else, I hope y’all can check it out! Maybe even join me in taking the class. :)

You might wonder

What you’ll be

Where you’ll go

Or what you’ll see

Black and white or even gray

You can see things any way

You can see in thoughts or dreams

You can see most anything

/

You can stay on land or sea

You can go through space or air

You can go most anywhere

From January to New Year’s Eve

You’ll be great if you believe
