Reasons to keep writing
No one else is gonna tell that story.
You know what’s even more gratifying than having people like your work? Finishing it.
To show your readers something in a new light.
To show yourself something in a new light.
To understand other peoples point of view.
To help your readers understand other points of view.
To help your readers get through a tough time.
To help readers understand their tough time.
To make a reader feel represented.
Because you can’t let the haters win.
Because you’ll only get better if you carry on.
Because it makes you happy.
Because it makes you sad.
Because, inherently, writing comes with the ability to create emotions from thin air,
And that is magical.

2015 Tiny Desk Contest Winner Fantastic Negrito Just Won A Grammy
In 2015, NPR Music ran our first-ever Tiny Desk Contest. That year, a little-known blues musician named @fantasticnegrito submitted an entry. It was a simple video — filmed in one take on an iPad in an elevator shaft. But there was an electric quality to it that transfixed our team. Fantastic Negrito went on to win that year’s Contest.
Today, two years later, his album The Last Days Of Oakland won the Grammy award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.

And now here:
We are so proud to have been a part of this journey. Congratulations to Fantastic Negrito. And to all the dreamers: Keep it up.

Poet of the Month: Aimee Nezhukumatathil
Love in the Time of Swine Flu
Because we think I might have it, you take the couch. I can count on one hand the times we have ever slept apart under the same roof in our five years,
and those usually involved something much worse than this sort of impenetrable cough, the general misery involved with dopey nausea, these vague chills.
But this time, we can’t risk it—our small son still breathes clear-light in the next room and we can’t afford to be both laid up on our backs with a box of tissues
at our sides. Especially now that I carry a small grapefruit, a second son, inside me. In bed, I fever for your strong calves, your nightsong breath on my neck
and—depending where we end up—wrist or knee. I fever for the slip of straps down my shoulder, I fever for the prickled pain of lip-bite and bed burn. You get up and come
back to bed. We decide it is worth it. I wish my name meant wing. The child still forming inside me fevers for quiet, the silence of the after, the silence of cell-bloom within our blood.
Aimee Nezhukumatathil is the author of the prize-winning collections, Miracle Fruit, At the Drive-In Volcano, and Lucky Fish.

Our Poet of the Month series is curated by our friends at Poetry Society of America. The nation’s oldest poetry organization, founded in 1910, PSA’s mission is to build a larger and more diverse audience for poetry, to encourage a deeper appreciation of the vitality and breadth of poetry in the cultural conversation, to support poets through an array of programs and awards, and to place poetry at the crossroads of American life.
