I’ve spent two blissed out days working on spoken word versions of poems. Just me, the DAW, and the dog. It’s an interesting process and I’m revising the written poems a bit as I go, changing the order of the written manuscript… finding the musicality of the poems is astonishing.

There’s still plenty of time to submit! ✨ The Laureate Prize is open through December 31st — judged by Traci Brimhall. We welcome work from all writers, especially those from traditionally marginalized communities. Submit here: www.smallharborpublishing.com/laureate-pri...
