inspiration without the other stuff
Alas! The #WriterCrushSeries' final bow has drawn nigh! Every time I tried to write my intro for this last poet, I got a wee bit verklempt. I honestly tried to make it as concise as possible but there was really no way to skirt around a few details as to why this feature was different. [...]
Her catalog is extensive and its every bit majestic. All of it. Every presentation aesthetically appealing and her pen is simply fire. An admirer from the onset, I was not only impressed with Marie's work, I was genuinely inspired by it. Bold and beyond creative; I found her Instagram page warm, inviting and brimming with [...]
Ilona ( pronounced "Ee-loh-nuh") is by far one of the most thoughtful people in our Instagram Poet community. She makes sure we remain a cyber family by looking out for the poet behind each poem. Be it health issues, life changes or an extended absence; Ilona reaches out to everyone. In addition to being considerate, [...]
I have been blessed to see different facets of her poetry unfold. There is a sincerity laced within her persona that finds its way into her writing. Even the pieces which speak of yearning and unrequited love are gentle. Inviting. Believable. Relatable. In her own words… If you were to ask Celine to describe herself, she would tell you [...]
I love the way she loves. I have often mentioned "kindness" in my introductions during this series because it's a trait that's very important to me. Ann is beautiful inside and out and the kindness she shares is extended to all who cross her path. Her poetry is extremely powerful because it is born of [...]
Regal. Royalty...(sigh). That's how I would describe Ife. A consistent breath of fresh air; she's a gift to our Instagram writing community. Her distinct poetic style and beauty may be the invitation for many; while her writing gift and grace causes one to remain. A class act; she has been nothing but kind to me [...]

He reminded me of family. I don't know...it could've been the New York connection. I just knew that I always understood what he had to say and more importantly, what he wanted to say. Honoring his evolution, I journeyed with him as his username changed a few times and his poetic style transitioned in leaps [...]
I had not spoken with nor reviewed new material from Prithwish since his initial request to be featured a few months ago. I had already chosen my favorite pieces of his but decided to visit earlier today and my eyes fell on one piece: The beauty of this work of art is it's something every [...]
Yep. She's on my team. You got next but I got her. Nicole Campo is a force like no other and being one of her students and fans is not for the faint of heart. "Why?", you ask? Because raw emotion coupled with demonstrated intellect quickly weeds out the smug pretenders. That. That is why [...]
