New Resonance Community video
Check out this video: “How I found my voice: A new Resonance Community Reading” from the Haiku North America Conference 2019. From Jim Kacian and Julie Warthers’s presentation on this Community of poets, including members reading out their work. Julie read out haiku by members not able to attend.
My own poem was read out, too:
atlas
the weight
of my dreams
The video was featured as part of this year’s Fundraiser running from Thanksgiving to St. Nicholas’s Day.
