Nols Nathankski sits down with Dawn Web (They/Them) to make poems and talk open mic.

Dawn is a multi-media artist, award-winning dancer and queer neurodivergent advocate for mental health as well as marginalized individuals and communities. They find comfort in multiple mediums such as playing music, writing, painting, and dancing.

Nols and Dawn make poems with prompts from Ivka Fox

This led Dawn to making a poem from a line by Georgie Jones and Nols using a line from Diane Seuss.
