Thanks to Carla Hayes, the July 2nd hybrid Prose and Poetry session was fabulous. Don’t miss out on listening to it; the camaraderie and talent flowed, though it was past my bedtime. It was special because of the interactions fostered by Carla and everyone who attended. It mattered not who was on Zoom or in the room; we felt connected.
I am sharing one of the poems I performed here because it is apropos to being part of a hybrid convention.
