NON FICTION
this is coming from a baby writer who is trying to put their work out more. i write poems on my WPS, sign my name on the bottom, and take a screenshot.*i didn't know i can get published on e-magazines * recently, i discovered you & your ability to unearth stories, how you gently, yet firmly ground the roots of language inside poetry, how you bend the wor(l)d. you give me so much hope and fear (as i dont know if i will ever write pieces worthy of publiction). i remember reading 'souvenir' and experiencing my body moving *rising and dropping * inside my dress. God, you are good! your works are so uncircumscribed. sometimes, it feels like your words are growing, growing past what is spread on the pages. *tell me, what do you carry as you move inside the world?* i read 'sisters' and there was wetness around my eyes. there is a child of yours in an anthology on spriNg, you named it 'why i write' that is my favourite, & it is because i think that is the work that best reflects the colours of your soul. thank you so much for telling stories.
