Notes from the Hatch: Envelopes of Air
Sunday, March 16, 2024
Hey y’all!
It’s Carmen here. At this month’s gathering of the Hatch, we meditated on one of our core tenets here at the Isolation Journals: how a creative practice can turn isolation into creative solitude and connection. I shared a century-old letter by Virginia Woolf written in the throes of grief and a conversation between two contemporary poets, Natalie Diaz and Ada Limón, where I saw both happening simultaneously.
On a personal note, I myself was having a grief-y morning on Sunday, and this dose of community and celebration of poetry was just the balm I needed. If you missed it, or you’d like to revisit it, you can find a video replay as well as a written transcript below.
Much love,
Carmen
