Sol - Poetry & Wasp in Hand

Railroad Del Mar by Lysz Flo

This is a breaking down a reading, a discussion a mini analysis of a poem that I feel like is an underdog, but it is one of a series. If you look around, you can find them, but overall, I love this character and it’s mounting something interesting and therefore, I have the first part of the series in the Voodoonauts anthology called La Sirene I always think of all of the ways we can give life to a poem and sometimes it’s simply reading it and sharing it and other times it’s understanding why it was written the way that it was written. What does it do? How was it speaking and what is the palm trying to say and this is me figuring it out somehow. Thank you always for listening. You can read the poem here and please check out this Caribbean issue. There are a lot of gems and short stories here. http://strangehorizons.com/poetry/railroad-del-mar/ [http://strangehorizons.com/poetry/railroad-del-mar/] Are you in So Flo join my writing workshop on Feb 8th https://www.mocanomi.org/posts/moca-makers---the-mundane-as-magical [https://www.mocanomi.org/posts/moca-makers---the-mundane-as-magical] You can continue the convo with me on⁣⁣ Pod socials or @lyszflo  𝐈𝐆 https://www.instagram.com/creativelyxposed⁣⁣ [https://www.instagram.com/creativelyxposed%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3] or @siqbook 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 https://twitter.com/CreativelyXPod⁣⁣ [https://twitter.com/CreativelyXPod%E2%81%A3%E2%81%A3] 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 https://www.facebook.com/creativelyxposed/ [https://www.facebook.com/creativelyxposed/]

Rasha - Find me on the way to liberation

This is the conversation that keeps gifting for me. A call and response, a communal conversation about craft, the responsiblility of writers, is there a speaker and the writer, the unfortunate inheritance of colonial displacement, my own views and desires for this series.  Kinship amongst those who imagine liberation and intention in life and words. Free Palestine until its is backwards. Palestine is Free.
