A Brief Shining Moment of 2025: My Mass Poetry Workshop

As I said before quoting Bill Hicks, I'm a producer now. Sure I've hosted several panels at Mass Poetry, but they were all interview segments or featuring other poets. For the first time ever, I hosted and led a writing workshop. 

"Filtering White Noise: Using Erasure and Blackout Poetry To Make Sense of It All" was an amazing success. The person who was presenting that day and the person I am today a half year seem like two different people. I can't believe how smoothly it all went and all the good work created that day.

I honestly don't know how I can follow it up next year. 

Happy Birthday, Corey Howard
