*Please do share this with anyone who has been impacted by these illegal layoffs. Some of the prompts will be about writing resistance, and the whole offering really is about creative resilience, and who doesn't need that these days?

*forgot we read the excellent and moving Soil by Camille Dungy! Last Spring seems so long ago!

*To give you an idea of our wide ranging reading, here's a list - past Poet Camp Book Club books have inspired some amazing and now, award winning poems! We've read Rooted by Lyanda Lynn Haupt, A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle, Inciting Joy by Ross Gay, Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson.

Wintering by Katherine May is full of strategies for getting through difficult times - whether that's having a hard time writing, coping with the news cycle, or personal difficulties in the weeks and years to come. I hope you'll join us! Read at your own pace, and write along when you're able.

*Please reach out if you find money is a barrier to joining, and I'll get you squared away. I want a house with a crowded table, as the Highwaywomen so eloquently sing!

From a Poet Camper - Debra Darby gave me permission to share this blurb about our recent time together: "I wanted to thank you so much for the craft classes. They were rich with information, ideas and prompts. Your material is so helpful and the presentation is so rich and unique."

What a great read!
