"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.
