Description: A poetry project dedicated to the risk of creative failure.
poetry (4341) friedrich (151) failure (94)
Follow along as I risk humiliation by doing the most potentially catastrophic and embarrassing thing I can think of: writing a poem for every week of 2019 and hitting publish, whether it's good or not.
This is rough terrain many feet have stumbled over roots, over rocks—gotten caught in the weeds and tall grasses. Ankles twist and shatter in the uneven places. Bodies have tumbled with boulders and stones in avalanche down these slopes. Harmonies of windsong and birdsong mesmerize many wandering here, sending happy lovers blindly over edges.
I know the dangers and so do you, but here we stand, elbow to elbow, and I can not help but reach over to take your hand to squeeze, and nervously, in a moment that keeps on beating, the geographies of our palms combine.
