Hello my friends,

I wanted to be sure to get the word out to you about some upcoming features and workshops that I will be holding this week! It's a privilege to close out Poetry Month with a bang!

Thursday, April 30

Rooftop Poetry Workshop with Jessica M. Wilson, MFA

Topic: Beat Generation @ 6pm

It all starts on Thursday, April 30th, the last day of Poetry Month, I'll be at The Hatchery, teaching a Poetry Workshop on the Beat Generation.

This is truly such an honor. It's something I have been wanting to do all my life and I feel so blessed that I have this opportunity to share what I love to do with the people.

This workshop is $5. It's held in the beautiful rooftop garden as we see the sun drape down into slumber.

Drinks, food, lesson, writing time, sharing... it's all good. We give critiques very respectfully. Come join us!

Reserve your spot in the class: http://www.meetup.com/The-Hatchery-Press/events/221764344/

I know you will not be disappointed. The Hatchery is a great new resource for us Writers -- it's a complete and total office, write or read in total silence, or in community. Unlimited coffee and water, immaculate bathroom, printing, wifi, and air conditioning. Go up to the rooftop garden for the perfect inspiration to cure any writers' block.

Ways You Can Support 💜 Dear Friends, As I navigate some meaningful transitions this season, I’m reaching out with gratitude and humility. If you feel called to support, here are a few ways your kindness could truly help me and my little family right now: Help us get to León (August 14–21) so the kids and I can spend our birthday week together with loved ones.

Let me know if you have a safe space to store a few treasured keepsakes from the kids’ (and my) childhood. Help us host a community birthday c...

This story captures the rawness of emotional evolution of someone diagnosed with cancer. In these pages we witness the first injections of devastation, denial, fear, and finally the climax of letting go and choosing life over grief or giving up to the disease. Phillips and Franco address the severity of cancer in a way that is expressive and humorous; and also written in a way that is always accessible to the reader by means of adopting the Cinderella Fairy Tale to Franco’s testimony. Like Cinderella, Chemorella is a lovely and beautiful woman with a lot of good spirit to share. However, Chemorella becomes stricken with a tragedy that many people don’t come back from, that is far more serious than anything Cinderella had faced.
