How does your work first enter the world? Do you have a social group or writers group that you work ideas and poems with?
For the last six years, I have been part of a collective called: Elma’s Heart Circle – founded by Cheryl Boyce-Taylor. It is a group of poets who write every day in April and weekly throughout the year. In this way, I am always creating work and feel so lucky to be part of a group that is so generous and inspiring to my work. This has been transformative for my poetry. The act of writing, crafting, editing, sharing and commenting. It nurtures and holds the work in such clear and beautiful ways.
