"Writing poetry is a life practice." I love this line, Radha. It suggests that this writing life practice is the ultimate motivation, the ultimate sustainable satisfaction. And yes, building an ecosystem of other poets, other thinkers, others who value what we do as poets is essential yet a constant challenge whether we are post-MFA or non-MFA writers like I am.
Your Poet-to-Poet community on Zoom helps--it is wonderful to hear writers from around the world gather around the poetry-fire. Your new book is lovely, and I look forward to your reading in Austin this weekend!
