LYNNE THOMPSON FEATURED!

Here's a lovely profile and interview with Los Angeles Poet Laureate and Marsh Hawk author Lynne Thompson at the Kingsley and Kate Tufts Poetry Blog. Here's an excerpt:

 I definitely see the creative practice as possible for those working outside of the academy or in roles more traditionally associated with the arts. As in all things, you have to make room for the creativity to blossom. And in making that room, one has to accept that the road to crafting something—a poem, a painting, a choreography—may necessarily take longer than for one who works in their field, sunup to sundown. In my case, I left the practice of law where I worked as a litigator to take on a job where I could use my legal background but in less (ok, slightly less) of a pressure cooker. That change allowed more time than I previously had to address the craft and art of poetry in private workshops and by attending conferences. Having done that, and finding myself in the role of poet laureate, it seems important to bring the message to those working in roles or living in spaces that seem to be anathema to creativity of my experience and to provide some encouragement that recognizes there are always ways to pursue “the dream.”

 

"CHAPTER ONE" FEATURED POET: Gail Newman

Gail Newman is our featured "Chapter One" poet for May. You are invited to read about her writerly beginnings HERE, but here's an excerpt:

"I think about poetry, kindness, the earth. Resilience. How much we have of beauty. Why we need to remember the past. Elie Wiesel said–

"Whoever listens to a witness, becomes a witness."
