Quarantine Prompt a Day <3 In Praise
28 March 2020
“Try to praise the mutilated world.
Remember June’s long days,
and wild strawberries, drops of wine, the dew….”
From “Try to Praise the Mutilated World” by Adam Zagajewski
(Translation by Clare Cavanagh)
Make art today in praise, praising something, praising whatever is lifting your heart.

What Does Peace Mean To You? Share it with us on PEACE VINES!
What Does Peace Mean To You?
I’ve posted recently about a new project about which I’m very excited: the Central Virginia Chapter of Writing For Peace, a local outreach of the national organization Writing For Peace.
Our first official chapter project is underway! But we need your help!
Submission Guidelines for Peace Vines
In many conversations about Writing for Peace, we’ve learned that people limit their definition of the word peace to its association with war. The many beautiful and varied ways we can define peace, as individuals or in the many groups, cultures, etc., to which we belong, too often get lost in the shadow of war versus peace. So we want to hear from as many people as possible, discussing what peace means to them personally.
Being curated by Brigid Hokana, Peace Vines will be a Youtube Channel featuring these short videos, with the hope of opening up the discussion of what peace can mean, and why it matters so much to all of us.
If you’re interested in submitting a video for inclusion in Peace Vines, please visit our Current Projects Page for submission details.
We can’t wait to hear from you. Peace.

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.
