Learning To Fly

Today's episode is filled with popular, varied voices of established, undercelebrated poets talking and writing about Thanksgiving from their perspective and times in history (or the present). 

Here is a recap of workshop prompt writing from the year 2020. Honestly, if it weren't for the way this year played out I don't think most of these workshops would have been anything close to accessible for me. So I'm super grateful in that respect. 

Support local and loved -artists, authors and creators this holiday season!!!!!! 

This episode is a reminder of hope. Something that goes underappreciated and underutilized within poetry. 

This is another, random entry episode from the blog www.iwrotethisforyou.me - a blog I visit frequently as the world continues to change and evolve. I really appreciate this author and I think we all need to turn to his work - or work like it- more often than not. 

This episode is short, it is a reminder of old ways to support and an announcement about new ways. Learning to Fly is so much fun to make, and I love watching as the community and the episodes grow. But it is not as easy to make as people think. And being here every day without fail is beginning to take a toll. So please, help keep it alive by supporting in ways only you can. 

In this episode, the ever amazing R. Clift @r.cliftpoetry on Instagram (primarily) talks about her recently released book "To Be Remembered" Now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. While also talking about inspiration, letters, and even music!

Books we talked about in this episode: "Letters to a young poet" by Rainer Maria Rilke, "The Night Circus" and "The starless Sea" by Erin Morgenstern, and of course "to feel anything at all" and "to be remembered" by R. Clift!

Basically just more information about Dear Bouquet - ebook pre-sale, early release paperback, spotify playlist(s), and some sneak peak poems!

This episode is more nanowrimo updates and snippets. Things that have already gained traction and made a home out of my novel.

These are some of my favorite Sabrina Benaim poems. I am excited to share them with you all as I gear up for joining in on her good news open mic tomorrow!
