Poetry Reading

Maggie Devers

After Chelsie Diane

This is a remembering

When we come together

And read our truth.

We have been doing this forever.

They have tried to stop us—

Burnt us alive, tied rocks to our ankles and threw us in the river, locked us in cages.

So many cages.

But we didn't stop.

We can never stop,

We are right where we are.

The audiobook of my debut poetry book, For My Daughter, will be released 12/12.

In the tradition of a poem a day, starting 11/5, I will be offering a daily reading from the book for subscribers to One Poem Only.
