Our first Divinations miniseries, featuring working poet Sandra Yannone, is here! I’m so thrilled to share the first episode of this seven-part miniseries, which chronicles our collaborative conversation in poems, in which Sandy and I debut work in progress, unpack poems, and dig into creative practice and process.
In this episode, Sandy and I preview what’s in store for this short (and oh-so-sweet) season, including discussions of creating with constraints, calling in the voices of our artistic forbears, the everyday portals to stories, and more.
Here’s a little bit about Sandy: Sandra Yannone’s debut collection, Boats for Women, was published by Salmon Poetry in 2019. Salmon will publish her second collection, The Glass Studio, in 2024. Her poetry and book reviews have appeared in Ploughshares, Poetry Ireland Review, Lambda Literary Review and numerous others. Since March 2020, she has hosted the weekly reading series Cultivating Voices LIVE Poetry on Zoom via Facebook.
Enjoy, and, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
