June edition of IWSG

Hello everyone!

I don't think I feel insecure today. Well, if I think about it, then I do feel insecure.

Remember how I said I'm going to crowd fund my poetry collection to self publish it. Well, I finished making the campaign and I'm waiting for it to be approved. I keep thinking it won't be or it will be, but not have much support of crowdfunding.

Last but not least I submitted to an anthology and they said yes! But I wonder if my writing is good enough and the whole thing will get love.

Love, Fida Islaih

Congrats on being accepted into the anthology! That's awesome--and of course your writing is good enough. My goodness, how can you question after the fact?

Here's wishing you much success with your crowd funding. Wahoo!

To anyone reading this, my campaign is approved!! Hopefully you can help! http://pubslush.com/books/id/312

Btw, I understand that I'm crazy to question my writing after so much support, but sometimes the little devil likes to play games with your mind.

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The...
