Welcome to Litsy!

A bit of background: I am not a fan of poetry. I‘m terrible at it - whether it be deconstructing, analysing, or composing. I read it because of the mythological aspect.

This was meant to be said out loud (as advised), and while the rhythm and pacing are evident in some parts, I could never get the vigour and emotion on how it was supposed to be spoken. Thus a disconnection between the piece and its audience. The diction of the poem was good.

This one's at its best when read aloud. #poetry #seasonsreadings2016

I couldn't capture just how neon-bright this cover is ☹️ Trust me it is retina searing in real life 💥

There's always been heroes
and there's always been villains
and the stakes may have changed
but really there's no difference.
There's always been greed and heartbreak and ambition
and bravery and love and trespass and contrition -
we're the same beings that began, still living
in all of our fury and foulness and friction,
everyday odysseys, dreams and decisions...
The stories are there if you listen.

I read smaller books and kind of squeezed them in where I could, didn't really have time to be conscious of what I was reading so let myself down for the POC count again. Favorite was As I Darken for sure.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Holy flurking snit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Here's my Friday Fun for @Liberty ! I got to see Kate Tempest at Housing Works earlier this spring and wow, was it amazing! She's such a great poet - Brand New Ancients is a book everyone who likes modern myths should read. And I got to tell her how much her work has meant to me! It was wonderful.
