National Poetry Month: Make Art (with Jess Keating) 18 of 30
Do you get Jess Keating's EPIC Email ? If you don't, you should go right to her site right now and sign-up. I enjoy them. You should check out her site while you are there. Last week's email was a reminder not to apologize for your art. I think it was perfectly timed. I decided to take her letter and create a found poem with it - because art. Ha! As we round the second half of this month's commitment to write a poem each day, I'm guessing we can all use her message. Thanks, Jess, for the permission AND the inspiration AND the fun. Make Art found poem from Jess Keating's EPIC Email 4/16/21 all words belong to Jess don't apologize for taking up space. share your work, your voice, what matters. don't apologize for getting it wrong, imperfect art. be human; "perfect" isn't reality. stop apologizing. be seen, heard. don't apologize for shitty art; even if it doesn't lead to better art, progress. nobody needs to validate what you make...
