Improving IMPOSTER— screams out in the night Is this true poetry? Are you truly a poet? Fear finds a way to stop me. I hesitate. Do I keep writing? If Mary Oliver, Joy Harjo, or Jane Kenyon read my poems what would they say? I wonder I hope I think— they would tell me to keep writing, have courage and stay brave. So I try on the thought— I am a poet. I am a writer. And I return to my desk I write I read I share to improve my practice to improve me.
What’s a fear that stops you from improving?

Julie, Yes! You have much to say that we ( the world) need to hear. One brave voice traveling at the speed of sound, poetry that can shatter the heart and transform. A sacred gift that must be honored by the recipient. So yes, be grateful for your gift, never doubt your ability to impact the reader/listener ( I have shared your work with many)and know in your heart you are meeting your destiny in the most authentic way you can: by being yourself! Oh, if we all had your courage and your faith and your love!
