This Is Halloween So Let's Write About It
Last episode was all about horror, fears, and morbid affairs, this time we’ll look for poetic inspiration that has a more lighthearted and festive spooky touch.

Dark Poetry and the Horror Genre
Happy Halloween, the day has arrived early on our podcast because the theme for our writing today is haunting words. And we are going to dip our toes into mulling over some eerie, horror-esque poetic inspiration and see if we can’t write our own haunting poem.

Dearest October
The prompt today is an ode to October, a love poem if you will. I recite poems by classical poets Robert Frost and George Cooper, alongside my own poetry written in the moment to share some love for my favorite month of the year!

Autumn On Paper
Let's put the autumn season into words by getting inspired by other poets, both known and obscure, who have done the same in their own way.
I share a poem from my perspective as someone who lives in a desert city and how that changes my relationship with the season, to show that there's no reason to have to stick to the stereotypes if they don't make sense for you.

Dark and Stormy
Storms are the mutlifaceted focal point for our writing today. We walk through a few different angles to creatively tackle the topic in our poetry.
I discuss how our personal experiences with storms influence us to write in wonderment or terror of them. And how they can be used as a metaphor or an allusion to a hidden meaning.

The People's Poetry
Welcome to the first episode! Here we write out our feelings, collect notebooks that we’re too scared to write in, and drink tall cups of coffee to try and make art out of this strange human experience that is life. Join me as we turn the beautiful and ugly messes of our lives into poetry, nurture a writing practice, and tackle the topic of self-doubt for our mini-writing workshop today.
