Today’s #HFGather was a special National Poetry Month treat! Host Sarah Aronson had a powerful chat with Nikki Grimes about:
- Using poems to shake things loose
- Feeding your poetry and writing with visual art, which involves seeing in new ways
- Embracing silence in your life and your writing
- Allowing yourself space to breathe, especially right now
- Giving yourself a few days to react when you get edits on a manuscript
- Making emotional connections with your readers
- Challenging yourself with trying different forms of poetry
Do NOT miss Nikki’s reading of her poem “Isolation Station,” from her memoir Ordinary Hazards, near the end of the webinar: goosebumps!
