I’m excited to finally be performing an original spoken word poem on stage after almost two and a half full years!!! No performance is ever the same- spoken word is created from the alchemy of words and the energy of the audience in the room, so I am excited to see how these two uniquely merge and weave together next week.

A few of my friends are attending, so if you’re in the SF area next Thursday evening, I’d love to see you there as we celebrate words, community, and the power of storytelling.

I’ve spent the last month in small group writing workshops, writing in 20 minute chunks from a prompt, and immediately sharing the raw poem with a partner. It has been an immersive, intensively vulnerable, inspiring, and raw experience. I’ve since then flushed out a few poems, and gone on extremely long walks to embed the rhythm of the stanzas in my body. New words invite themselves in. Lines change. I love this process.

I am the poem, continuing to write herself.

Hope you can join.
