trying to consume more poetry nowadays too and receiving a daily poem in my mailbox has been v helpful in figuring out what speaks to me and what im not per se keen on. todays poem was a delight imo!
for about a year i had back to back band classes starting at 7am so while everyone started warming up for the second one i would enjoy what i called « sit in the bass room in the dark time » where i would do just that & drink my coffee & go through my inbox reading all the poems… just got a guy who i wrote a poem about in my inbox & that poem that mentions him got published by the same people so soon i will be in his as well…
go to events even if u think they’ll be iffy - better to have some memories of living life than none, go to library, go sit on the nearest grass
also u can’t expect good arts and culture if u don’t support the bad/amateur stuff as well 🦀
