"This work is unlike any other, in its range of rich, conjuring imagery and its dexterity, its smart voice. Carroll-Hackett doesn’t spare us—but doesn’t save us—she draws a blueprint of power and class with her unflinching pivot: matter-of-fact and tender." —Jan Beatty

Sometimes the Prompt Gets By With a Little Help From Friends

Daily Prompt

Great conversation thread yesterday started by the amazing poet and person Karen Craigo on Facebook regarding what we can do all to support poetry and other poets. Got me thinking about how my mama always quoted John Donne, his “Devotions upon Emergent Occasions,” saying “No man is an island.” 

Make art about community, abut community-building, about our need for community.

Sometimes You Have To Let the Prompt In

Daily Prompt 

Before my mama went on to the next life, she told me “You’ve got to LET someone love you, Mary, really Love you.” One of the lessons I’m still learning, both about myself, and about other people.

You can only love someone as much as they’ll let you.

Make art inspired by this.

Sometimes the Day Is the Poem, and It’s Golden <3

Woke up hearing someone singing this, a tenor so golden it surely came from heaven ❤

“You’ll remember me when the west wind moves Upon the fields of barley. You can tell the sun in his jealous sky When we walked in fields of gold….”
