I just watched @thecultofmindy read one of my favorite poems of hers on a livestream and I can’t stop crying. Every time I read this poem I fall in love with the ginkgo tree even more, which I didn’t think was possible. I can only hope that through all this heartache and chaos we can learn what nature has been so beautifully and silently trying to teach us. Also that last line...fuck! Thank you for your gift of words that you so graciously shared with us under the Pink Moon.🌕 #mindynettifee #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth #words #gingko https://www.instagram.com/p/B-s4MxHJBgj/?igshid=ifujimmkf0t3

"Cause I can’t stand to see you like this. So blue, my eyes turn green in your presence. Listen— you are so beautiful, Grass pushes through sidewalk cracks just to kiss your feet. Maybe no one ever told you, But the heart IS a metaphor. Yours is growing so strong You’ll have your rhythm back any day now—" 💚 #mindynettifee For those out there who need a reminder... #poetry #growth #strength #transitions

"The truth is this: My love for you is the only empire I will ever build. When it falls, as all empires do, my career in empire building will be over. I will retreat to an island. I will dabble in the vacation-hut industry. I will skulk about the private libraries and public parks. I will fold the clean clothes. I will wash the dishes. I will never again dream of having the whole world." . . . It's a beautiful morning for poetry and introspection. It's sweater weather, and it feels amazing. My heart is full. I've got a big day full of the people I love. And... I woke up like this. #MindyNettifee #ThisIstheNonsenseofLove #poetry #sundayfunday #glitteraf

#WomensHistoryMonth COURAGE: Daring Poems for Gutsy Girls edited by Karen Finneyfrock, Rachel McKibbens, Mindy Nettifee "I'm not sure it is possible for me to love this collection any more than I do. For anyone who is or has ever been a teenage girl, the poems on these pages will speak directly to your heart - and maybe even punch you in the gut! The women in this beautiful collection truly understand how much courage it takes to be a girl. I wish it were required reading in high schools everywhere." - Mary #womenshistory #poetry #courage #poems #gutsygirls #karenfinneyfrock #rachelmckibbens #mindynettifee #femalepoets #womenpoets #selfidentifiedwomen #women #girls #whatareyoureadingthismonth (at Bookshop Santa Cruz)
