How Social Media has Improved my Writing

February 3, 2021February 3, 2021 ~ Zoe DeVoe ~ 1 Comment

Poetry has been my safe haven since middle school, but I’ve only recently returned to it.  As I mentioned in my previous blog post (if you have not yet read it, you can find it here), the art form had been a huge source of relief during my mental health struggles between the winter and … Continue reading Poet’s Block (and how to fix it)
