poetry as daily spiritual practice
nurturing the metaphysical self with poetry
the importance of a creative community
writing through and about grief
our writing processes
books we love
our meandering recap of the 2010s
being promiscuous readers + writers
Georges Bataille for Scorpio Season
poetry as worldview
