Surrendirt to Poetry

Welcome to the 1st episode of season 2 of Surrendirt to Poetry. We start this season off with a BANG (heh. heh)! For the second time in the history of this podcast, I invite another human to share AIR space with me as we deliver what might be the wildest, silliest, and sexiest ride that Surrendirt to Poetry has ever offered. 1 part nostalgia, 2 parts astrological nerdiness, 3 parts poetic and musi...

Welcome to the 15th episode of Surrendirt to Poetry in which I revisit a past version of self and read my award-winning poem from this vantage point, nearly two years post-award grant AND CIRS diagnosis. I get real (I mean, when don’t I really?) and dive deeper into why it’s taken me so long to create a podcast episode about this poem in particular. Stick around until the end for some intuitive Di...

Welcome to the 14th episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, the title of which is a mashup of the two short poems I read: “hugging trees” and “what grows, and when”. Both poems were created from prompts that my patrons provided about a year and a half ago. I also invite you to join the community we are creating on my patreon, away from the noise of the larger social media outlets. Come plug in over there...

Woah friends. Hi :) It’s been a minute. Slow and steady. Emergence is happening. See you on the Danceground patreon.com/surrendirt

Welcome to the twelfth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which we dive deeper into metamorphosis in the middle of Aquarius season. Listen through until the end for some bonus material 😉 An audio visual copy of the poem I read, “more notes from the chrysalis” can be found here: https://www.patreon.com/surrendirt. Extra special thanks to my friend Andi for contributing both an audio message and s...

Welcome to the eleventh episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I report to you directly from the chrysalis to share the first part of a poem that is emerging here, as well as some fun facts about metamorphosis alongside little glimmers here in the desert.  A copy of the poem I read, "notes from the chrysalis, part 1" can be found displayed on beautiful slides I created and sent to my Patre...

Welcome to the tenth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I share a poem that I recently co-created with eight other humans, as well as the inspiration behind the poem, just ahead of the new moon in Pisces in the shadow of Mercury's retrograde motion. I mention Stephanie Greene and Wild Soul in this episode. Check out @lovestephaniegreene on Instagram and Wild Soul here: https://wildsoul.mn.c...

Welcome to the ninth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I invite you to be softer, gentler with yourself as I talk about this body I travel around in on the eve of several traumaversaries - you're shocked, I know. This time I just jump right in with a poem that I just decided to lovingly name "asteroid glitter," mostly because it's my favorite line from the poem. I'm sure I should give a pl...

Welcome to the eighth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I share the most information I’ve shared about my CIRS journey so far, including diagnostics, symptoms, and treatment, among other things. My story eventually leads back to a familiar set of front steps in a home that held so much. Be sure to check out Exposing Mold on all of the social medias, as well as survivingmold.com and the CIR...

Welcome to the seventh episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I usher in Leo season by reflecting on wisdom that lives in the body and how they help us to re-member our brilliance, among other things. Bonus feature: this is the first time I’ve offered two poems in one episode - “belated 2019 love letter” and “2020 was the year I learned.” What a sweet and savory deal! Reminder to check out my p...

Welcome to the sixth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which a special guest and I explore multiple layers of subconscious, dive deep into adventurous Piscean waters (because Mom likes fish), promote my Etsy shop @ https://www.etsy.com/shop/surrendirt , and brainstorm ways to stimulate the dream-space. Reminder to come hang out with me and the rest of my patrons here: patreon.com/surrendirt or s...

Welcome to the fifth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I ride Mercury’s retrograde waves through the eclipse portal on Friday the 13th to deliver dissolution to you. Here’s the link I mentioned, for all of the Wild Souls out there: https://wildsoul.mn.co/share/rKVY5jdgx0PRjWbS . Reminder to come hang out with me and my patrons here: patreon.com/surrendirt or snack on bite-sized visual slic...

Welcome to the fourth episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I jump into the water and swim around without a plan, eventually encountering an unexpected jersey boundary. It’s all about expansion and contraction, re-membering The Roots (savannahbukant.com/the-roots) and following your envy (reference from “How to Identify What You Enjoy,” episode from “How to Build a Happy Life,” podcast). Remin...

Welcome to the third episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I show up right on time to celebrate a belated vernal equinox with a reading of a soon to be titled poem from a distant social media feed, while noticing glimmers outside the window. (Reminder to come hang out with my patrons and me over here: patreon.com/surrendirt and/or enjoy bite-sized visual slices on my Instagram @surrendirt)

Welcome to the second episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I queerly nerd out on astrological weather, dig deep into The Roots (savannahbukant.com/the-roots), explore elements of wildfire and new growth through chronic healing (mold illness resource: (survivingmold.com), and re-member the transformational power of art. Oh yeah… I also read my poem titled “fire season,” inspired by the devasta...

Welcome to the first ever episode of Surrendirt to Poetry, in which I casually ask the big questions, nerd out on weather, and read my poem “seven octillion atoms,” inspired by the octopus at the aquarium and this chronically healing body.
