1st episode with Sol Rios

https://www.spreaker.com/episode/sol-poetry-wasp-in-hand--59173306

We discuss the unfurling of craft and self in poetry. Liberation. Becoming unapologetic in our lives and our work. So many notes taken and such a beautiful discussion. Taking up space in body and words.

Sol Rios is a self-published poet living in Rockville, Maryland with her two cats Soni and Snow. She is the Author and Cover Illustrator of Ghost of my Ghosts (2023).

She often splits her time between chess, submission grappling, making music, rock climbing and making art across various mediums. She currently spends her time developing and refining a new approach to skill acquisition in writing poetry through the Constraints-Led Approach.

3rd Episode with Rasha

https://www.spreaker.com/episode/rasha-find-me-on-the-way-to-liberation--59174597

This is the conversation that keeps gifting for me. A call and response, a communal conversation about craft, the responsiblility of writers, is there a speaker and the writer, the unfortunate inheritance of colonial displacement, my own views and desires for this series.  Kinship amongst those who imagine liberation and intention in life and words.

Free Palestine until its is backwards. Palestine is Free. All of Rasha's links
