Ooooh I love that quote by Andrea Gibson! They are my favorite poet of all time. I am also loving Dani's book!! Thank you for your kind words my friend. So grateful to be on this planet at the same time that you are!! Even if everything feels like it's falling apart, at least we still all have each other and can keep making great art <3 Xoxo
Andrea's show was incredible. What a human! Thank you for your kind words. I'll never get over how amazing our writing community is, and to have cross paths with your brilliant light and necessary words. Lots of love.
Mmm, I adore you, friend. And I wish I had an answer for how it is the second week of June, but I don't. I just finished reading The Beekeeper of Aleppo by Christy Lefteri and I'm currently reading (very slowly, because damn, is it triggering when you read a memoir that you could have written) This American Ex-Wife by Lyz Lenz and Dani's poetry. I am excited for the next Grief and Rage workshop and loving the way they are unfolding and creating community and also following the work of DonkeySaddle Projects and helping where I can. Always examining what it means to stay soft and open and be together through the hardest parts so that we don't cause more harm. XOXO
I think you recommended The American Ex-Wife on IG because I have it on hold at the library. Yes, always examining what it means to stay soft and open and together – the work of a lifetime. Grief and Rage work IS that. Love you.
Oh, that QUOTE! Just made me gasp! How did we get to June? Sometimes by forgetting we are ALIVE, LIVING beings and going through the motions and other times, LIVING so full and fast and fat and full that the time spins out! I love everything about this post and will definitely take each point step by step. I am trying to get my high school senior graduated and out the door while tugging gently at the bottom of her shorts for her to stay a while longer. Everything is surreal and everything feels like the upside down and yet here we are, choosing how we'd like to live. I read a quote this morning from an interview with Jill Ciment about her newest memoir, "...you're alive as long as you're alive." And that was everything. Thank you, dear soul.
