Thank you to Daria for continuing to inspire poets 30 years later and Allen Ginsberg for his genius howling heart seventy years later.

Protect your mind.
Share your heart.
Feel your feelings.
Write and read your words aloud.
Poetry is alive.

This week's poet guide is J. Drew Lanham J. Drew Lanham

J. Drew Lanham, is a poet, academic, cultural ornithologist, educator, naturalist, writer, librettist, curator and public interlocutor from South Carolina.

J. Drew Lanham blends ecology into the complex context of human being. Identity, place and nature are his orientation bearings to address the mission of “Coloring the conservation conversation”.

Guided by principles of interconnectedness and interdependence, Dr. Lanham’s work centers on the growing issues within environmental justice as observed through the multifaceted perspective of a Black Southern man. As a storyteller, poet, and passionate advocate for accessibility and stewardship, his writing is in praise of wandering and wildness and in protest against all not justice or joy.

Lufkin Conservation Award from the National Audubon Society (2019), the Rosa Parks and Grace Lee Boggs Outstanding Service Award from the North American Association for Environmental Education (2016), and the E.

Quilts are poems are quilts.

Poets lives are quilts.

Institutions of poetry keep us alive in dark chaotic times.

Great poets, like bell hooks, are immortal institutions, homes, textiles woven and rewoven between generations and identities.

We’re so proud of our very own Megan Grace King for their incredible piece of art featured at the the bell hooks center through this weekend.

Other artists in the show shout yourselves out in the comments! We’d love to know you too 🌹

Powerful curation from Gale Greenlee and shauna caldwell

Poetry is a heartform. Let poetry live.

She has taught and mentored writers in schools and communities across America and, until her retirement in 2016, was a writer-in-residence at Middlebury College.

Julia Alvarez’s work has garnered wide recognition, including a Latina Leader Award in Literature from the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute, the Hispanic Heritage Award in Literature, the Woman of the Year by Latina magazine, and inclusion in the New York Public Library’s program “The Hand of the Poet: Original Manuscripts by 100 Masters, from John Donne to Julia Alvarez.” In the Time of the Butterflies, with over one million copies in print, was selected by the National Endowment for the Arts for its national Big Read program, and in 2013 President Obama awarded Alvarez the National Medal of Arts in recognition of her extraordinary storytelling.

Thanks to VERONICA JOY EVENTS for helping us realize this with her recent post.

Which love language is yours?

Poetry is a heartform: words, gifts, time, touch, service.

That’s why it is actually also a form of hospitality.

To welcome someone into a poem is to open yourself with the ultimate generosity.

Bring poetry to life this fall.

May the power of poetic co-creation guide us to greater intention, connection, and meaning.
