tease the thin membrane between pleasure
and disgust. O beads of sweat bedazzling
your skin, I lap you up until you’re soaked"

The Sundress Academy for the Arts is excited to present “The Intersection of Religion and Mental Health in Poetry,” a free virtual workshop led by Maya Williams on Wednesday, November 12th from 6:00-7:30 PM EST. sundressblog.com/2025/10/28/s...
Regardless of our religious, nonreligious, or spiritual worldview, the culture of religion continues to be an influence on people's mental health. We will look at poetry by Adrienne Novy, Eugenia Leigh, and Maya Williams to learn how suicidality, spiritual bypassing, and religious related trauma in poetics can impact us.
