🍃 1. Poets Need People!
The Poets Need People (PNP) Clearing is a holistic service dedicated to empowering unruly folks to move through the world as Poets through communication that helps usher the world we desire to live in within our daily life. By working with me 1:1 over the span of 3 months I will conduct your journey to learning how to move through life as a Poet. Through 6 bi-weekly hour Clearing sessions, the facilitation of three Assemblage Conservatory documents, asynchronous support, & more we will find your form.
While I believe the world would be much better if everyone moved as Poets do, the acronym PNP remains factual when we consider the simple fact that People Need People too. Below you will find the piece I wrote when I announced the Poets Need People Clearing. Please read A Poet’s Combustible Heart below. Please read A Poet’s Combustible Heart below to learn more about what it means to be a Poet, my process, & gather more context on how PNP came to be.
🌀 2. The Clearing
The Clearing is in devotion to poetry—reading & reciting one poem at a time. Twice a month, on the first & third Sunday, we gather to discuss the monthly poem. For Poets, non-poets, life long lovers of Poetry, & new lovers of Poetry.
Gain access to a monthly curated poem, curated prompts encouraging us to live with poetry, invitations to private live Clearing Ceremonies, & more. Why did I create this clearing? It’s a rather simple explanation. I was tired of people complaining about how difficult poetry is to engage with.
“Poetry isn’t difficult to engage with, it’s sensual & the “white supremacist capitalist patriarchy” (bell hooks) has robbed many folks of their innate sensuality.” — Kay Brown (me), published on the Assemblage Conservatory Website
Enroll in the Clearing to re-orient towards the sensuality in life, learn to move through the world, & read like a Poet with fellow unruly folks. I hope to see you from within one or both of these Clearings sometime soon 🫶🏾.
💌 3. Letters From Me to You—Yes, in the mail!
Take a stroll, not a scroll, to your mailbox & touch something that moves you. In the Assemblage: Baby’s Breath Publication I frequently write letters that you can read here. Now I’m writing directly to you!
Once a month, you will receive a letter or postcard straight from my desk. A monthly Editors Note from the Poetic Conductor™ of Assemblage Conservatory & the Assemblage: Baby’s Breath SubStack Publication. I will be writing my musings on poetry, artists, process, & in general “Art on My Mind” (bell hooks) with other special surprises. Sure, these musings could be posted on social media but I have stopped trying to force square broadcast channels to feel good to me somatically. You can read more about how I came to accept the great fortune of not utilizing social media in the piece below.
Instead I’m creating a Clearing, Written by Herself, where my breath can truly expand. If you subscribe & feel moved to share your mail on social media, in group chats, etc. please always CITE BLACK WOMEN. Please always include my name Kay Brown (she/her) & the link to the publication of the Assemblage: Baby’s Breath SubStack in your sharing practice. Subscribe anytime before the first Thursday of each month, for $12.00/month, to get the monthly letter in your mailbox by clicking the button below!
P.S. Currently, I’m only able to send letters to Australia, Canada, EU, the United States, & the United Kingdom. Hopefully in the future, I can send them to other places but this is where I am starting from. Also the first 100 people to subscribe to Written by Herself, using the promotional code STAMPFANS, will get their first month free✨.
