In Stephanie Hoogstad's Canoeing, the natural world acts as a soothing contrast to an underlying tension. The haiku-like structure gives each stanza a sense of completeness while advancing the narrative. We are suckers for anything nostalgic and this certainly fits the bill.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.

Just read this amazing acrostic from J and I thought it's worth sharing: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/bang-you-re-dead%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
You Nailed it, good job 👍
I'm a bit late to the party - but cheers, all! This is a piece by someone very dear to me, who has written a few brilliant pieces on this site (and been so kind as to be a sounding board for MANY of my ideas). I think she has a masterful narrative and poetic voice, and love her submission to the Silence Acrostic Challenge: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/enough-51so06du%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Good morning ❤️ So sorry I missed this in real-time, but here's an impactful piece by Cindy Calder about the recent tragic events: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/tears-thus-ensnared%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Éclaircissement! "I believe this story by Dharrsheena Raja Segarran is one of the best stories I have ever read. I recommend that you read it too. https://shopping-feedback.today/horror/eclaircissement%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Hi I'm sure you all know or know of me around these parts and I thought it's about time I raised my voice. So without further ado I would heartily reccomend you take a look at Kirsten the Kiwi: https://shopping-feedback.today/authors/kirsten-the-kiwi%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Hi there 👋 Just swinging by to raise the voice of this sensual gem by Zara Blume... https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/a-warm-place-j62f0mx9%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Thank you! ✌️
I have read some amazing pieces this week, many of which will stick with me for a long time. There is such immense talent here. One piece I highly recommend is this journey by John Cox, inspired by Dante's Inferno: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/canto-del-morto%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

Two amazing poems I read these days: The first one is a haiku from Colleen Walters: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/the-ocean-draws%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E The second one is a love poem from Murali: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/my-crush-5wz20xhc%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Hi 👋🏽 I’m Joe, a teacher from New Zealand, currently working (slooowly) on my first novel- James The Wonderer. Here are three to take a look at: 1. To Write by Kendall Defoe https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/to-write-1e1i06r7%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Sparse in words (for the Silence acrostic) but thought-provoking regarding how we use what we say. 2. Watercolor by Mackenzie Davis https://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/watercolor-xh1i02qp%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E This one is for the Overboard challenge, but also touches on growing old, and the setting is very visual. 3. Forest Invitations by Andrea Corwin https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/forest-invitations%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E This one is also a Silence acrostic, but set in the woods, and is full of nature, which I found very calming.
Hello all. I pen poetry, fiction, book reviews, and writing advice here on Vocal. I came across this amazing poem by Dharrsheena Raja Segarran this morning and feel that it deserves even more recognition. I enjoyed that she focused on silent treatment and thought the title was unique and creative. The rhyme scheme was also just incredible. Here it is: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/obmutescence%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E.%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Oneg wrote tis in an open and vulnerable cry, as only a teacher could do. I applaud them for sharing. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/today-a-kid-died%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Lovely poetic of bonding with nature and another. The visuals created herein are amazing.
Meredith's captivating story about time with her children is simply the timeline cleanser that I needed. maybe you, too?https://shopping-feedback.today/psyche/pez-ure-hunt%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I am awed by the vulnerable audacity (audacious transparency?) of Sam "the Wanderer" Eliza Green's unveiling of planned releases for September. This is more than a catalogue of what we can expect to be quite fine pieces; it is a travel journal through an author's dreams and daring. https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/introducing-my-september-catalog%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
I follow Rick Martinez. His writing on writing is on point. Each bit is usable and comes from his real world expertise. This is one of his latest. https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/forget-counting-likes-measure-your-true-growth%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
It's Suicide Prevention/Awareness month and this candid, important piece and Patrick's other open book writings on depression are incredible examples of self exploration https://shopping-feedback.today/psyche/depression-diagnoses-are-skyrocketing-with-no-end-in-sight%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
