In the same way, when we smell the air in autumn, our brains provide a whole lifetime of autumns and the emotions, and visuals connected with them. For the real human, or character, it’s happening in the background - a writer’s job is to bring it to your conscious attention.

Join me, @jacklegpress.bsky.social, @mickiepoet.bsky.social, Kristie Frederick Daugherty & @notquitehydepark.bsky.social for A Very Literary Happy Hour on November 5, 7-8 pm EST! 🥂

This poem that Maxine Kumin wrote for Anne Sexton.

A wonderful evening of poems! Thanks @natallman.bsky.social, for bringing us together.

Anne Sexton died 52 years ago today at the age of 45. Let us honor her life and her poems together. Here is one of my favorites. Please share yours. ❤️

Let's try that again with my glasses on... Would love to see you there!
