Poems for Your Weekend
Short Poems Edition ✨
Dear Friends,
As always, I loved the poems you submitted this month!
Here’s the June Poetry Today Thread for you to read at your leisure (stay tuned for the July thread!). If you haven’t interacted with this aspect of our community, it’s a beautiful space to read and share poetry with one another around a monthly theme.
A reminder that the replay for Writing the Short Poem is available until July 1. If you haven’t watched this course, please do while it’s still up.
Last reminder: the amazing Garth Greenwell is a guest lecturer in CWC this month. We will be in conversation about craft topics in fiction and non-fiction before taking questions from the group. We have 5 tickets for non-members. You can sign-up here.
Otherwise, if you’ve been planning to join Conscious Writers Collective (Poetry or Prose), then July is such a juicy month! Here’s a look at our programming (+ workshops, office hours, and craft classes taught by yours truly and 100+ hours of past course replays):
Now, on to the poems!
Thank you to Kelly Fordon, Erin Belieu, Lainie M, T. E. Niemi, Dave pearen, Lana Hechtman Ayers, Louise Ireland, Sam Dee, and Caitlin P. for contributing their own poems and poems by other poets to the round up. It’s a beautiful selection, and I was very grateful to be introduced to some new poems.
As always, please let us know your favorite poems and lines.
