DAY 4/10 #quietthechaos
Today I got quiet with 30+ writers as we shared poetry readings and letter-writing, virtually, in solidarity. Some of us journaled or worked on short stories, too. ALONE TOGETHER. It’s a thing. It’s possible. And is it any surprise a number of us choked up hearing poems read out loud? The vulnerability in the tremble of a voice, the stretching of a metaphor, the precision of an image. Offering 5 hours of my time and services for free to anyone is the least I can do during these times (QUIET THE CHAOS link here, kids welcome). I’m so moved by the free workshops, livestreaming, community free-for-all’s that all of us are inventing and spreading far and wide. Keep it coming, peeps, and keep safe and kind.
