It's always all smiles and support during our StoryShares! Thank you to @massleap for having us at their Wicked Loud Youth Poetry Festival this weekend! A special shout out to everyone who shared their wonderful #stories about #race, #identity, and #discrimination.

I've sent about a billion queries. I've been agented. I've gotten full requests and some really lovely rejections. I might not be able to help you with being published, but I can make your query life easier.

Y'all, participating in @MassLEAP events while I was in high school changed me for the better. The youth of today have voices that deserve platforms and slam poetry is a wonderful outlet for such. Highly suggested!
April is #NaPoWriMo, National Poetry Writing Month! We hope you’re keeping the pens moving, or the Notes app updated, or writing however you do!
Wanna celebrate with a free youth poetry festival? We got one coming up this weekend 👀 register here: massleap.org/wicked-loud

One of my undergrad professors (who I adore) once told me “Every generation needs its greats. So why not you?” And I think about that OFTEN.
🗣 WHY. NOT. YOU?!?!

"Poetry is a means to traverse oceans and experiences; we are transported into another life when reading poems. I find the idea beautiful: the fact that we can feel together and dream together, even as we remain physically apart, never ceases to inspire me." - @bornfromspices
"Claim poetry for yourself and know that if you choose to wield it, you may well change the world."--US Youth Poet Laureate Meera Dasgupta @bornfromspices. Read her remarkable new poem, "Remembrance". #WorldPoetryDay2021
