A Writer and Artist in the Moment: New Poems In Frigg Magazine

Frigg Magazine's issue 48 is all about shame. There are poems, short stories, flash fiction and creative non-fiction pieces exploring this emotion. Shame is a human emotion we all feel in different degrees at different times. Some form of shame or lack of it is seen everywhere in our society.

Brene Brown has studied shame. She talks about shame in this video.

shame is an unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior. Brené Brown, whose earlier talk on vulnerability became a viral hit, explores what can happen when people confront their shame head-on. Her own humor, humanity and vulnerability shine through every word.

I'd love to hear from you.

I write posts on this blog for two reasons. I want to promote my own work (what writer and artist doesn't), and I want to share my love of the written and visual arts. In the past nine years although I've written fiction and non-fiction, I've been focused mainly on poetry. I am interested in hearing from writers, artists and readers. I am actively seeking to expand my vision of what is possible as a poet/writer/artist through shared self expression. The effect of words and images on our psyches can be profound.
