Thank you to all our 2nd Wednesday Poetry participants yesterday! To show support for fellow East Bay poets, here is an exciting 4 artist feature going on in San Francisco this Saturday night - featuring the host of the Viewless Wings Poetry Podcast and former Dublin Poet Laureate, James Morehead!

"Ain't Beaten Yet" by Claes Cem, a song I first heard when I was 19, popped into my head today - a reminder not to give up in hard times & not to forget fighting & speaking for what you know is good & right in the world! Share the song if you agree & like it :)

Some poems inspire multiple generations - thinking of a poem I read back in college today, a short and powerful one by the nature poet, William Wordsworth. I used his poem for reference in one of my own written pieces during the height of the pandemic - #ClassicEnglishPoets #FormerPoetLaureates

Here's a lovely poem about a father's love for his daughter - Amos B. Alcott to Louisa May Alcott, beloved author of "Little Women." I'm printing and sharing it at my next poetry workshop. It's a nice little piece of history, love, respect, and joy ♥️ #poetry #poemsoflove #poemsofadmiration

Friendly reminder to all poetry lovers across the SF Bay Area that Poetry at the Pub is happening this Wednesday, 6:30 pm at The Growler in Danville, CA. Poetry lovers, writers, listeners, & allies all are welcome! - share a drink/food, write, share a poem, or just enjoy writers #poetry #openmic

This poem is a reminder that dark poetry can hold widespread appeal and relatability. I found "I Was Dying" randomly on the web one day and have admired it ever since. I hope readers do too! #Darkpoetry #Anomymousauthor.

Spent some free time reading Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket 🌉) this week, and he emphasized the moment he discovered Charles Baudelaire. As a reader, I'm inspired to check out the author. Here's "Man and the Sea," by the poet himself #CharlesBaudelaire #Poetry #PoemsabouttheSea #poetrydiscovered

Every now & again, your parents surprise you. My dad saw me reading "Dead People Laughing" and he recognized Julia Vinograd! He used to see her in the bookshops & on the streets of Berkeley - in person!! That is so great! #borrowingbooksfromfriends #deadauthorappreciation #greatoutofprintbooks

Just found this poem - already so fascinated and embracing a desire to share it #Poetry #Poetrylove

Calling all poets! If you're in or around the Danville CA area the 2nd Wednesday of August - you're welcome to join us @thegrowlerpub for poetry night!
