  • A way to think poetically

    If you’ve ever thought or come to believe that poetry can sometimes feel like it hides behind a veil of symbols, abstractions, and vague hues, then this channel from the creative process is an excellent way to uncover the flow of poetic thought from the writers themselves. Highly recommend for both poets and non-poets alike!
