When is the last time you wrote someone a letter? A long handwritten letter on blank paper, just because?
I highly recommend it! I wrote my friend a letter and time expanded in a way it rarely does anymore. Can’t wait to put this little red envelope in the mail, send it along.

I miss people writing poems at bus stops. Each moment of connection with a stranger, each person's words.

I created this poster collage of work submitted during the pandemic to Poetry on the Streets. On exhibit now thru Feb at WorkSpace's, Perspectives of a Pandemic, "exploring how art reflects collective trauma and inspires personal resilience." So many powerful expressions.
