David McGee: The Griot and the Nightingale
Had a great time joining @slamcharlotte at the @thebechtler Poetry Wednesday Night Live. For the ekphrastic exercise I chose to write to a piece titled Howl by David McGee.
Grateful to be a part of the evening with fellow poets and for everyone else that came out to support and lean into the art.
