in terms of poetry iāve read and thoroughly enjoyed: ashley obscuraās āambient technologyā was a great read; a very modern approach to poetry but still grounded in beautiful prose!

This is the greatest love of my life (and, in a sense, my career given my future MFA career, stay tuned), but you really should read more poetry in general. It's fantastic. okay yes "Instagram poetry" is en vogue hot garvage and frankly, makes me sick to my stomach, but poetry as an art form which contains and focuses experience, emotion, and attention, is one of the most profound things (ideally) we continue to produce. Poetry is, in a sense, something which moves towards a potentiality of art and writing in general in a current moment where it seems almost lacking.
What, then, can we do as poets or writers?

Iāve found poetry to be extremely helpful in putting words and images to the unwordable in my life. Plus it unlocks my creativity, itās fun, I get to play around with words. I also find it helpful to distinguish it as poetry, not poetic journaling. Poetry is written with the intention of being read to someone else. Poetic journaling is not. Imagining Iām writing to someone else (and then sharing what I write with close friends or in poetry circles) can alleviate the burden of whatever Iām writing about in a healthy way for everyone involved. Therapy is cool too
