This episode features Melissa Guerra, @allaboutmoe, on Instagram and is a must-listen. She employs poetry as a tool for healing. Her work kept quiet, and to herself, made its way to the stage during Zona San Anton's poetry event, Lakeside Poetry, and this podcast. So, listen to this episode and catch her at the Lighthouse Lounge once a month during our open mic.

In this episode, I read from three poetry books whose authors are extraordinary.

Karen Arredondo-Rose Gold Poetry
Brenda Vaca-Riot of Roses
Shaggy-Burning Bridges of the Delicate

I've chosen a beautifully written poem from each of their books that will captivate and inspire.

I wish you all peace in the name of poetry.

I love you all. You're beautiful.

On today's episode, we are featuring Ky, a truly sentimental poet. She has a unique way of putting into words what we have all felt in complicated relationships, making her poetry deeply relatable.

Ky, @that_person_ky, and @kyspoetry_book on Instagram, is a poet in her 20s figuring out life and experiences through words and phrases.

Soon, her published book will be available for purchase. Until then, let's listen and see the world through Ky's words.
