It also reminds me how terrified I was the first time I read to a group!Michelle Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213029576321171285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379389241889779899.post-47674817907518186582012-04-28T16:05:45.152-05:002012-04-28T16:05:45.152-05:00I know I'm late responding to this, but PIYP w...I know I'm late responding to this, but PIYP was so fun this year! I actually wound up going to a creative writing reading (and sharing some of my own poetry) for a lit journal I used to be the Poetry Editor for; it was a blast (though it went a lot longer than expected). The amazing thing about it, though, was two girls who had "dared" each other to read; while some were annoyed at the hesitance they let slow their readings (each only had one poem, but combined I think they took ten minutes to get through it), what amazed me was that poetry had become their signs of bravery! I just love moments like that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903355774364525437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379389241889779899.post-61929189528200500832012-04-26T18:38:17.731-05:002012-04-26T18:38:17.731-05:00That's why readings and spoken word are so imp...That's why readings and spoken word are so important.Michelle Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213029576321171285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379389241889779899.post-1153780462911940312012-04-26T18:35:37.042-05:002012-04-26T18:35:37.042-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michelle Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00213029576321171285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-379389241889779899.post-21549709471283332402012-04-26T16:23:51.839-05:002012-04-26T16:23:51.839-05:00I love this.
