Learning To Fly

In this episode, my guest Nona shares with us someone they are heavily inspired by as we enter a new year. Artist Liz Houston has been on the podcast before and we've talked about her art style, her inspiration, and a tad bit about her Dreamkeeper's Tarot deck as well. Well, today, the focus of the conversation is that Dreamkeeper's Tarot deck! To find Liz: https://www.lizhuston.com/ or https://pa...

Today's episode of the podcast is all about inspiration and building concrete creative habits that serve us as people - not just as the work we create. Nadine Hayes, author of Paper Hearts, is back to chat about writing prompts, upcoming projects, collaborations and more!

This episode is family friendly beyond belief. But if you take the time to really stop and think about the poems - even adults can interpret or find alternate meanings and stories.

This episode was a fun one to record, albeit a tad bit hilarious because of time zone differences! Today, Lora and I are chatting about photography, documentary mentality, and of course the ever-important perspective!

Sometimes finding inspiration is the most difficult part of putting your best foot forward. Especially with the coming of a new year coupled with the growth of an up and coming artist. That being said, today's guest, Sarah, can be found on Instagram @girl.withapencil and is a frequent face on Sharing Space - a biweekly Instagram Live event. Where she is finding both her voice and a genuine audienc...

Today's creative prompt is: Counting Dreams and as I sat down to put together today's episode I was truly inspired by this idea of counting dreams. So I've decided to read a small handful of poems from my upcoming collection "Dear Bouquet" which will be available later this year. I also took some time to talk about making my dreams come true and how incredible it feels to be able to count the drea...

Welcome, everyone! I am so excited to have Learning to Fly up and running again! And to be starting the New Year off together! Today's poem features "Time to Come" by Walt Whitman, "The sole intention of creating this" by Ric BASTASA, "The dancing went on without him" by Afxa (Screenname), and to bring everything full circle, "Whoever You are Holding me in your hand" by Walt Whitman.  I think...

Today's episode is kind of a recap and a what's coming next type of thing. There is no real poetry and not really anything too special - basically just news so more of the episodes throughout the month can be poetry related!

In today's episode, Nadine Hayes joins me to talk about her book Paper Hearts - which has already sold out on her website, but is still available on Amazon. She also shares a bit about her bookmarks (available of sale on her website) and upcoming projects.  Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Hearts-Nadine-S-Hayes/dp/1733929924/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=ox_sc_s...

Today's episode is filled with popular, varied voices of established, undercelebrated poets talking and writing about Thanksgiving from their perspective and times in history (or the present). 

Here is a recap of workshop prompt writing from the year 2020. Honestly, if it weren't for the way this year played out I don't think most of these workshops would have been anything close to accessible for me. So I'm super grateful in that respect. 

Support local and loved -artists, authors and creators this holiday season!!!!!! 

This episode is a reminder of hope. Something that goes underappreciated and underutilized within poetry. 

This is another, random entry episode from the blog www.iwrotethisforyou.me - a blog I visit frequently as the world continues to change and evolve. I really appreciate this author and I think we all need to turn to his work - or work like it- more often than not. 

This episode is short, it is a reminder of old ways to support and an announcement about new ways. Learning to Fly is so much fun to make, and I love watching as the community and the episodes grow. But it is not as easy to make as people think. And being here every day without fail is beginning to take a toll. So please, help keep it alive by supporting in ways only you can. 

In this episode, the ever amazing R. Clift @r.cliftpoetry on Instagram (primarily) talks about her recently released book "To Be Remembered" Now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. While also talking about inspiration, letters, and even music!  To see what she's up to (linktr.ee): https://linktr.ee/r.cliftpoetry Books we talked about in this episode: "Letters to a young poet" by Rainer...

Basically just more information about Dear Bouquet - ebook pre-sale, early release paperback, spotify playlist(s), and some sneak peak poems!

This episode is more nanowrimo updates and snippets. Things that have already gained traction and made a home out of my novel.

These are some of my favorite Sabrina Benaim poems. I am excited to share them with you all as I gear up for joining in on her good news open mic tomorrow!

This episode is composed of poetry by Neil Hilborn and conversations that need to be had. 

So this episode is snippets of poems from my nanowrimo challenge so far. 

This episode is composed of poems that start the difficult conversations we should be having but don't know how to. 

As we draw closer and closer to the final election day results, I wonder how many of us actually made the time and effort to vote. And really cement our ideas and opinions behind our choices. If this is the final reminder you get to VOTE, then please do. If you already have, then please enjoy these poems and comment on this episode!
