"With mad respect "
Catherine Forest is a former family medicine physician and public health specialist who has turned to toward her writing since “refinement“ in 2020. She has published a few pieces about her work on the front lines of safety net clinics and advocating for health justice. When she is not writing, she is involved in Climate justice, work, and social justice work along with hiking and birding
Since the turn of the century, Catherine writes what she calls a ‘textku’ every day. She takes a picture of an element of beauty on this earth, pauses to be in the moment and write a haiku, and then sends that combination to someone she loves. She teaches this practice, to many physicians as a mindfulness practice. Currently, she strives to put words to the anomy that many people feel in order to foster hope.
Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words, accompanied by a cohort of fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 200 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.
Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month. Daily poems from the 30/30 group are posted on the Tupelo Press website: https://www.tupelopress.org/the-september-2023-30-... (Poems appear in alphabetical order by author.) Check it out--and feel free to return to the page over the course of the month to read new poems.
Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me support this distinguished press. Give today!
