Monday Night Poetry – Censorship
March 1 2025
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 – Empathy Wrapped in Nonjudgment
February 14 2025
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.

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. 💖💖💖
