What are you working on?
I’m writing a “living poem” to my son and posting it on Twitter, a line at a time, as it happens. Parenthood can teach us about the beautiful messiness, the good cracks in the daily bread, the whole organic process of living. My hope is that this poem speaks to my son and to all who still keep a seed of childhood’s mysteries in them. It can be found on Twitter at @stars_poem.
