Dear Friends,
Welcome to your weekly FDA-approved dose of poems!
Today’s installment is curated by me but submitted by you. Thank you for your stunning poems on travel—I loved reading the thread.
A special thank you to Angela Cummings, Julie Sunderland, Geigle Ron, Barbara Boches, LeeAnn Pickrell, Angela Janda, Erin Beasley, Victoria Nordgren and Laura Pendell. Also, Odunoluwa, who suggested this poem by Naomi Shihab Nye that was new to me but too long to include—it’s absolutely worth reading in full!
Also! Quick reminder that CWC doors are OPEN from now until 6/5. We currently have 4 spots left in CWC Poetry and 6 spots left in CWC Prose. I highly recommend signing up early if you know you would like to join our writing family. Kaveh Akbar, Nicole Sealey, Pascale Petit, and an editor from Knopf are all joining us this month to work without our poets, novelists, and essayists.
And now, without further ado, the poems!
As always, please be sure to share your favorite lines, especially as so many of these were written by members of our own community.
