Pop Up Poetry Announcement!

In light of numerous threats of friendly humiliation and metaphorical castration by an anonymous individual (@eddiecabbage), I will be strapping on my big girl panties and hosting my own #PopUpPoetry event on Instagram this Friday evening. But honestly, I’ve been mulling this over for months, and I have no excuse as to why not NOW. So this will be an excellent learning experience for me, and I thank you all in advance for giving me the opportunity to do so on this platform. Please!–Get involved! I want to hear from you! It’s going to be fun and random and rapid-fire…

Etsy Shop Now Open for Business!

I’M OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS! Click the “STORE” tab on the far right of this site’s menu header, or go to www.etsy.com/shop/theRhetoricalRedhead to view my listings and place an order! Tremendous gratitude to EACH and EVERY reader and supporter who has helped to make this possible. Without your encouragement I would still be holed up at my writing desk, wondering if I was any good at all. Well…apparently you like my scribbles enough to want to buy them, so–as per your request–I have opened an Etsy Shop to start selling my haikus and prose, printed and displayed in unique, creative…

Dark Roast Forever Blend (a poem)

“The Lighthouse with No Name” (a poem for my Name Reveal)

 

TO MY BELOVED READERS:

I initially started my full-time writing venture with the intention to be completely anonymous. (I even considered staying “sexless,” but I knew that would make my writing very limited in terms of voice and POV.) Being an avid reader, myself, I knew how much readers appreciate it when authors are candid and real with their audience. People naturally want to relate to the author, and I understand that. But you see, in my case, I wanted to be faceless…nameless…to have people read my words as-is, without the distraction or influence of my identity or physical features. I wanted to see if people would like what I had to say, if my words held any power in and of themselves, if my work would touch peoples’ lives…in a sense, I wanted to see if I was any GOOD whatsoever.

Practice: “Over the Love” lyrics by Florence and the Machine

                                                                                                                                    Some projects in the works, but practicing in my down time. My goodness, I love this new ink! So smooth and rich in sepia red-brown. Getting used to making it a uniform color, and…

                                                                                                    It appears I left my Self behind when I started this marked race. Time to retrace my steps and find her…back where I left her. Not sure what this will look like…but I thank you all for your endless support and encouragement. This lil’ online family of writers is very…
