“Stark and haunting, these poems dig deep to the roots of identity and the self.”–Julia Watts, author of Gifted and Talented
“I know how things sink in;” drawing deeply from the ancient land, the collective soul that hums beneath her feet, and in her words, Caroline Malone does, indeed, know, and reveals to us that knowing, of fear and prayer and loss, of the paths we make to seek—and find—our own souls, even when they seem to flee from us, into the history of the secret city of Oak Ridge, to the rubble at the feet of the Parthenon, into the arms of the Civil War ghosts who linger at the shoulders of every Southerner. -Mary Carroll-Hackett, author of (Un)Hinged, Death for Beginners, A Little Blood, A Little Rain, and The Night I Heard Everything.

Daily Prompt Love s Truth
7 June 2019
I often tell my writing students, “Just because it may not be true in your world, doesn’t mean it isn’t true.”
Make art about trying to understand what it’s like to walk in someone else’s shoes, or about making space for experience that is very different than your own.
