This poetic archive is a space where poetry as a practice is shared. But not just poems but the full spectrum of poetic expression. Here, you’ll discover information of the lived, told, remembered, and imagined experiences. Here is a site of memory–collective memory, social memory, and personal memory. Perhaps, you will discover a path forward with love, peace, joy, and salvation from all that robes the soul of its awareness of beauty. This is a space motivated by change and wellbeing. This archive is a collection of helpful lessons.
