Welcome to Litsy!

Wow, finished this collection! There were a lot of gems. It's "early" Neruda so I'll have to look up more of his work later.

There's a lot of prose in this poetry book! But it's all still lovely. This is the last poem and Oliver does not disappoint. 😁

I had the pleasure of seeing Martín Espada, one of my absolute favorite poets, with @kgriffith last night. Espada is amazing, such a fantastic writer and reader/performer. Anyway, the afternoon I had today was a stressful, and I felt helpless, so I wrote a poem, with the rhythms of “Alabanza” echoing in my ears. #martínespada #poetry #pólvora #challengingday #helplessness #writingashealing #alabanza #vomit #poetryreading #maine

#poetryreading Mary Oliver strikes again

Excited to be here! Rupi should be on in a few minutes to do a reading. Also, I think all tickets to events should come with a book. ☺️📖🙌🏻 #yyc #yycreads #poetry #poetryreading #bookishevents

I‘m just one poetry collection away from finishing my summer reading project. I‘ve read close to 20 poetry collections this summer by 20 amazing women. This has been a great way to jumpstart what I hope is a lifelong love of poetry. ❤️
