What you are doing for your mother is so loving. Thank you for sharing what has been lifting your community's hearts in all this outrage and grief. Poetry makes a sacred space for speaking out and for lifting voices in lament. I'm so looking forward to seeing you next week!
Lovely poem, LeeAnn. Thank you for sharing the “barbaric yawp” gathering. It’s wonderful to see the community of poets rising up in solidarity with Minnesota.
@LeeAnn, Urgh… so sorry to have missed this! The cost of downsizing my online time so missed the notice 🤦🏻♀️😿 Will keep my eyes out for hopefully a next one soon?
Dear LeeAnn -- I just re-read Ode to Pomelo and loved it even more than the first time. Your play with imagery here is fantastic. Looking forward to Sunday's gathering and so thankful to you and Lisa Jensen for doing so much to support this vibrant, international poetry community.
Sending love for you and your mom, LeeAnn. Appreciate all you have shared here: the rise and fall and twists and upside-down of life's experience. Oof! Loved the poem! Would love to be involved with the Zoom, though other commitments. Another time. Will there be opportunity to tune in later? The gathering for protest shared is an infusion of HOPE we all need and especially those who are having their lives threatened daily. May the strength of our unity take down this monster. Many blessings and MUCH LOVE, ~Wendy💜
I love that shirt “We Shall Poem Our Way Out Of This Dark” !!

I’m so glad you will be there and reading a poem, I hope?
Hold on to love, LeeAnn, everything else will fade eventually. Just hold on, no easy ride this one.
Sending you all my love.
Thanks so much, Fontini. That’s all that counts in the end.
