Tupelo 30/30 Project

Back in February I applied to be a volunteer poet for the Tupelo Press 30/30 Project and was accepted for the month of April. For me (and I'm sure many others) the last few months have been a blur and suddenly April was here.

The 30/30 Project is more or less a poetry-a-thon where a group of volunteer poets write a poem everyday for 30 days while raising money for Tupelo Press, an independent nonprofit publisher. The poetry part of this feels exciting, and a little scary. The raising money part feels intimidating, and maybe unfair in the current state of the world. I won’t be regularly updating the blog during the month of April, but I invite everyone to read poems by me and all the other volunteer poets, they'll be updated daily here. You can find my piece for today at the very bottom, because alphabetical order always does this to me.

If you enjoy the work and have the means to support independent presses like Tupelo, feel free to drop a dollar or two to my fundraising page here.

To those who can donate and to those who just want to read some poetry: thank you, I appreciate you, I hope you're hanging in there.
