Hi! NAWP still exists. Fret not. But NAWP is two teacher-parent-writers, which means summer is somehow kinda busier than the school year? I don't know how it happens every year either, but here we are. NAWP will return. NAWP!

Man sitting on an ostrich reading a book. This is all I could find when I searched "ostrich reading a book." Do better, internet. Come on.

Of haiku prompts, of parent poetics and caregiving, of creating the community spaces that meet the community’s needs, of environment & microplastics & birdless skies & writing into your life—! ofpoetrypodcast.com/2024/05/24/e...

On writing parent poetics:
"So here I am struggling to write a 'dad' book]...but it's just parenting, America hates care, and caretaking, and empathy. My point is: parent poetics in general are a struggle, because of course you're going to write about it--it's your world."
Mitchell Nobis, Ep 51
"One of the many many American hypocrisies is that children are leveraged as the political tool through which we get people to care about anything--and then when we actually try to take care of them, that gets in the way of money, or whatever else our real concerns are."
Jared Beloff, Ep 51

WOMEN DON'T GIVE UP OUR CREATIVE SELVES, NO CHILD DEMANDS IT, BUT WE ARE MADE TO CONCEDE BY REAL PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM ALL WE RELINQUISH, ... AND THEN WE ARE TOLD THIS UNCREATIVE LIFE WAS A CHOICE.
