The {Not So} Secret Poet
The {Not So} Secret Poet
The {Not So} Secret Poet is a biweekly blog which focuses on the voices of contemporary poets that shine a light on its medicinal power. Every other Saturday, I will recommend a poem, write about its beauty, and include a prompt based on a technique in that poem. If you want to recommend one yourself, whether it is yours or someone else’s, please contact me and I will be more than happy to collaborate with you!
I also have a newsletter, called Modern Etymologies, in which I explore the creative use of language by unraveling my own personal stories and the cultural echoes of the words we use. This newsletter is also biweekly; I post on the weeks when I don’t publish on my blog. You can read it here.
