These folks are pure joy and strength. I love spitting fire with them.

This is what it looks like when a room full of poets just yelled, “fuck censorship”. Prompt for the night: “censorship”
There’s a reason that the script I’m writing is set at Shim’s with this amazing cast of characters. These people are fierce, yet full of love, empathy and compassion.

Monday Night Poetry. These people, this space. I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have y’all in my life. People have no fucking idea what is happening in the lives of those around them. Empathy wrapped in non-judgment is a lost, elusive emotion in our world. However, you will find it in places like this. Find a space like this in your community. It is vital, life saving even.

My heart. Monday Night Poetry. Thank you for being the ones I can share the shit of life with. With no judging and no discomfort on your part. Do y’all know how rare that is?? I love y’all.

Monday Night Poetry last night. Two prompts. “What is the object of your hate?” And/or “Introduce yourself, tell us who you are”
Plus a white elephant gift exchange. I’m grateful to have this wonderful community to vibe with. As @sidewayseightprojects put it, “We had a wonderfully festive gathering filled with great poetry, holiday beverages, white elephant gifts and community building.” – Jesse
Thank you Jesse James Ziegler for the beautiful, heartfelt Christmas letter. I appreciate you and all that you do for the poetry and art community. You are simply amazing.

Monday Night Poetry this past Monday. I deeply miss being able to go every Monday. But that’ll resume now until January 22nd. I love that I can be my no-filter-self with my poetry friends. I love y’all!

Love me some Monday Night Poetry. The feeling of writing from your heart, then sharing your writings on a stage, receiving love and encouragement from the audience … that feeling. It’s pretty damn amazing.
