I was pleased to be asked by my poet friend Melissa Fite-Johnson to join her in the "Poets on Craft" series curated by writer Bukong Tuon at Cultural Daily. You can read Melissa and I's thoughts on how we approach starting, building, and ending a poem.

My poem "Sisters, We Must Gather Beneath the Tree of Life," is up today at SWWIM Every Day as part of their National Poetry Month project "Sing the Body," which features poems celebrating body positivity and our selves. It muses on sewing and the "tree of life" pattern that appears on a quilt my grandmother made.
