In February, I decided to dedicate 20 minutes a day to everything poetry-related, whether that be writing, reading, or submitting. It's now two months later, and I'm getting two pieces published. I guess consistency is key 😅

Have you been waiting to finally sit down and get back to that poem, manuscript, or journal collecting dust? Join us tomorrow at 11 AM EST for the launch of The Lucky Jefferson Writing Hour! events.humanitix.com/the-lucky-je...

What do improv comedy and poetry have in common? More than you might think. Join poet and professor Ana Reisen for a playful, judgment-free workshop that brings the spontaneous energy of improvisation into the world of poetry this Saturday at 11 AM EST 🎭

101 lbs. 13 volunteers. 2 hours. 😮‍💨 Earlier today, neighbors across #Berwyn came together for our FIRST block cleanup — and they weren’t playing around. 3 routes. 13 bags. Over 100 lbs of trash off our streets, alleys, and litter hot spots near train tracks.

Happening now!

Anyone need an extra moment of calm and clarity? Join us this Saturday, 2PM EST, for a workshop designed to help you slow down, breathe, and find a bit of ease. 😌✨

“Research shows no ones thinking about you.” —Wise words from my therapist 😂

Easter is here.

Declaration by Tracy K. Smith www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/147468...

"I set down milk, bread, aspirin. The elderly clerk’s breath, shallow, wheezing, pulls me into a recent evening in a darkened hospital room where a man, ill, sat open-palmed, looking at me, seemingly content with his wanting, and died into living."

Happening today. Theres still time to sign up!

Free workshop this upcoming weekend!

He doesn’t even go here!!! #Survivor50

My favorite thing about #Survivor50 so far is Charlie’s one-sided beef with Rizo 😂

Yes! Grab your pen & paper because the line up is going to be fire. And the writing hour at the end of the month will give you the opportunity to re-work any drafts! ✍️✍️

One of my most favoritest poems I’ve ever written

The clothes we wear to bed at night to sleep is just pajamas The flesh we roam this earth in is a blessing, not a promise I bow with those who bow to the creator and pay homage www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk-T...

"What are you doing tonight?" Oh, nothing, just reading heart-wrenching poems for fun

this poem by the lovely @nikitagill.bsky.social always hits me right in the heart ❤️‍🩹

Watched “Shutter Island” last night and for the first time, I fully understood the plot and foreshadowing techniques. It’s such a good psychological thriller with such a neatly tied up and thoughtful ending. It’s rare you get that from thriller movies nowadays.

Philip Seymour Hoffman in “Capote”. That’s it.

I conquered a childhood fear today. "The Wiz". Not so scary movie after all. Although I'm still not a fan of those graffiti kids popping out of the wall like that lol

I love coming across small instances where a light is shone on a perspective that's not often tapped into. This poem is one of those instances.

I only took one course with Mark Mirsky, but it was a unique and memorable experience to say the least. He definitely made a mark on this world while he was here. May he RIP 🙏🏾

Frank Ocean really did his thing with "Pyramids".

Such an impactful read!

I wish I had more to say...

Oh shoot, look at me, it's only January, and I'm out here doing big things (submitting) 😅

A Public Service Announcement to anyone living in the NYC area: I'm looking for open mics I can attend (especially in person). If you know of any, please let me know!!
