Welcome, Poetry Companion—

—You May Love Lingering Here If You:

  • Have had a transformational experience reading &/or writing poetry
  • Sense in your gut that sabbath, social justice, & art belong together
  • Get angry at abuse, including the abuse of language
  • Find yourself considering the question, “Why Poetry?“

Feel free to get to know me a bit, including why I’m offering house slippers, as well as poetry workshops and retreats.

Here’s what you can expect from me. And I’d love to hear from you, too :).

How Poetry Speaks to Pains, Needs, & Dreams

Submit your email address below for my free missive that I send out around the 27th of every month, which contains exclusive content about poetry, sabbath, and social justice:

  • a personal reflection about where I’ve found poetry lately
  • a “poetry around town” section of broader news, updates, and events
  • “why poetry?” observations from a kaleidoscope of poets
  • an invitation to conversation

By clicking submit, you agree to share your email address to receive a missive. As the poet Rainer Maria Rilke said, the “highest task of a bond between two people” is to “stand guard over the solitude of the other.” I therefore value your privacy and solitude, just as I value mine, which means I never disclose your information to third parties. Use the unsubscribe link in those emails to opt out at any time.

Success! You're on the list.
