Welcome to our fall Poem-a-thon! It is a gift to write in community with so many talented writers in support of so many resilient newcomers. Please support us!
Words matter. They can create possibility, light, and connection. Or they can "other," separate, spread negativity. I am always buoyed by the pictures painted by poems during this month, by the different ways of seeing our world, and by the community that coalesces to support our work with Words. These words open doors, make jobs possible, healthcare within reach.
Thank you for supporting my/our effort! I feel claustrophobic in sameness, revel in the richeness of our differences, and relish this opportunity to use words to express these feelings. Thank you for supporting me/us!
