Here is a poem I brought to our group yesterday, by Farnaz Fatemi, which is really resonating with me now. Hope it will format correctly in this substack:
This is definitely an act of resistance...which we need asap! In the meantime watching funny humane late night TV hosts translate what is happening with some degree of shared consciousness will have to do...or hanging out on Substack perhaps...
how awesome is this! we were just talking a out something like this with my writers group on another substack. Are we allowed to share this info? thanks for coming up with it! Thomasin in Baltimore
Here is a poem I brought to our group yesterday, by Farnaz Fatemi, which is really resonating with me now. Hope it will format correctly in this substack:
EVERYTHING IS MADE OF LABOR
The inchworm's trajectory:
pulse of impulse. The worm
is tender. It won't live
long. Its green glows.
It has found a place to go.
Arrange us with meaning,
the words plead. Find the thread
through the dark.
Line breaks came through fine! Thanks so much for sharing, Thomasin.
This is what we need right now. Thank you Saeed and Maggie and all involved. Can’t wait for it, in the meantime this poem is mantra.
Ah lovely, a tiny ray of light in an otherwise dark AF week...look forward to reading this! 🙏🏼❤️
Woo-hoo! Thank you. OUR Project 2025. While I look forward to holding it in my hands, my journal will grow its own. ❤️🎉
Thank you, Deb.
Mira Jacob and Danez Smith! @randolphcollegemfa represented. ❤️🥳

All good stuff!
Right on. Sharing wide.
