Sample poem:

THE BODY HE GAVE ME

He would have built
a case around it—the reasons
why he would call me cunt

Oh, like no woman
has heard the man
that she loved
go there in that dark
well of knives and daggers?

I would stand affront,
empty, speechless
on my linoleum floor.
I learn his language
and repeat it back to him.
He scoffs.
Disappears for days.

The roots intertwine now
beneath our feet
that no matter the pull,
the push, it's just useless
thrashing about

because all I can
remember that day
as I stood there frozen
looking down at my body,
speechless, watching it conform
to those descriptions of me.

Episode 13: Gregory Phillips

This episode takes us to Los Angeles where I got a chance to talk to Dr. Gregory Phillips. It was his exquisite photography that caught my eye and prompted me to reach out him. You will be amazed, just as I was, when I learned he has lived a rich life and the courage it took for him to stand for his conviction as an artist with a vision. http://yourartsygirlpodcast.com/episodes

Dr. Gregory Phillips is a former English professor, who six years ago decided to leave teaching and pursue his life as an artist. He was living and teaching in Minnesota and woke up one cold, winter day and decided to move to Los Angeles to chase his dream to be an actor. That summer, he packed his car and headed west. It was the best decision he's ever made, he said. He's also a writer and photographer. In terms of his photography, it started as a hobby, some fifteen years ago. Shortly after starting, it became clear that he has an eye. Photography for him is a way to document the things he sees. When …
