  • Dear Nico
    I am amused by your reading of R. S. Gwynn’s poem, “God’s Secretary” because i liked the tone of voice you used when reading the poem, your voice makes it seem like you were the one who made the poem.

    One line that stands out for me is, “She’s long resigned He’ll never know or love her ”. I think this line is fascinating because it sp…Read More

    • Dear Alexis,
      I would like to say that your poem is beautiful and the diction is beautifully chosen. I really enjoyed reading about both sides of your lives because it’s important to cherish your culture and your heritage. I liked how you described Haiti from what the world views it as but we both know that Haiti has more to it than just the negative. You should be proud of the person you and the independent woman in your life. Keep writing because it’s beautiful.

    • Dear ALEXIS :
      I am moved by your poem, “I Am From Brooklyn & Haiti,” because I am also a part of two different cultures. I’m a part of the Mexican culture through my parents and I am also a part of the American culture because I live in the United States.

      One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: “from go do them fu**ing dishes right now” I think this is hilarious because my parents are also strict. At times we may complain, but it’s important to note that these teachings will be beneficial to us.

      Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next because I relate to you, in regards to your different cultures and family life. Your writing moved me and I really appreciate it!

  • Alexis commented on the post, A Happy Place

    Dear Juan
    I am interested in your poem, “A happy place,” because you literally described every teenager’s life of how they feel more safe in their room than anywhere else. We feel safe there because we can be yourself without being judged.
    One line that stands out for me is, “In my space, I feel the calm and hear nothing but a pin drop”…Read More
