Today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast is all about variety and reminding ourselves and each other that there are so many amazing creators out there. And sometimes we do not resonate with a piece in the beginning - or at all even - but that doesn't mean that the creator isn't amazingly talented or that the poem is worthless. So listen with an open mind and also explore artistry in this new and full and wonderous year with an open mind as well.

That's right, folks, this year I want to try something new on the podcast and within the SincerelyBlueJay community - a book club! With a book a month! And January's book is the Starless Sea by Erin Morganstern. Currently I am re-listening to the full cast audiobook on Audible and rereading and reannotating my physical thrift store copy. Though, I do have an autographed hard cover copy - and as I said in the episode if anyone can get a copy of the UK gold hard cover for me - I'd love you forever and then some. It is widely available - no matter what your book buying preferences are or how you like to read! So pick up a copy and get reading! Mid-way through the month we will be back to look at some of the skills Morganstern brings to the table in terms of writing and world-building and at the end of the month I'm hoping to have some guests join me for a full book cluby discussion.
If you'd like to get involved use #LTFBookClub and #LTFStarlessSea and of course you can comment on each book club episode, tag me on social media, or add to the conversation in my posts throughout the month. If this goes well we'll do a poll for February's book and keep it going all year long!

Today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast is exploring the two BlueJay Prompt Journals alongside two other creatives. Discussing how to approach prompts, the different mediums you could use to create, and the numerous conversations the prompts could start. This was a blast to put together and I hope that if you don't already have one or both of these journals in your collection that you will consider picking up a copy and exploring where the prompts could lead you.
The First collection: https://www.amazon.com/BlueJay-Prompts-collection-creative-adventures-ebook/dp/B09PJ6ND1C/ref=sr_1_4?crid=21KUD6DMRQRSH&keywords=bluejay+prompt+journal&qid=1671780243&sprefix=bluejay+prompt%2Caps%2C142&sr=8-4

As of right now, the episode I did in 2020 based around Nikita Gill Poetry is the TOP episode listened to in the history of this podcast. And it continues to get new listens EVERY DAY.
You're right. Nikita is INCREDIBLE. And there truly is a poem for everyone. and every situation. And everything. So why wouldn't you keep going back to that episode?
Well, now, you have TWO Nikita Gill episodes - and hopefully SOMEDAY she's a guest here on the podcast. Where we can discuss her process, her overall message, her voice, and anything else we want to know. But until then, let's revel in some poetry. Every piece shared in this episode is written by Nikita Gill. So if you like what you heard, go buy one of her many wonderful books. Or gift a copy to the people in your life going through whatever it is they are going through - because there truly is at least one book for everyone. Or support her on Instagram and the rest of the socials. Or go see her at a signing. Or whatever it is you can and will do. Because every little bit makes a huge difference.

This episode was intended as a catch-up quick information interlude and re-welcoming of sorts. But I rambled. And it felt right. So let's ramble away together, and explore what might have been forgotten between your first time here and where we are now. Listen or skip as feels right to you and we'll be back with our regularly scheduled programming - tomorrow!

I know, it's so incredible to be back, but I've honestly been away so long, I wonder if I remember how to write a description that will catch your eye. Or start a conversation. Or spark a memory. So instead, let me say, thank you for sticking with me. Or thank you for finding your way here if this is the first episode of Learning to Fly you are experiencing.

On today's episode of the Learning to Fly Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined again by Kiana (Kmusic1318) to discuss a recent song collaboration inspired by Bob Marley, the process of collaborating with other creators, and also what it has been like to perform in a time when the world is still trying to navigate the pandemic but ease out of precautions.

On today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast I shared the poems: "When the Bough Breaks" by Andrea Gibson, "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath, "The Soul has Bandaged Moments" by Emily Dickenson, "The Backyard Mermaid" by Matthea Harvey, "Little Stones at my Window" by Mario Benedetti, and finally "How I am" by Jason Shinder. I hope that you'll listen to today's episode with care and as always take the time and space you need for yourself as we navigate these heavy topics - but also I encourage you to share this episode on your social media accounts and with your loved ones because today's episode is one of the more important ones I can put together. World Mental Health day is observed for this very reason - to encourage conversation, growth and a deeper understanding of what we as a global society actually need to help each other heal and develop and grow.

On today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast I'm joined by some beloved friends, Sophie and Kaiden Palmieri to discuss being trans in today's day and age. And the importance of carrying who you were prior to transitioning with you regardless of where you are now or where you end up. The struggles faced leading up to transitioning craft a warrior and a certain sense of bravery that should never be forgotten and cannot possibly be taken from you either. Because of that, we're introducing this guest as a way of celebrating PRIDE and embracing the voices and feelings of our community - one person at a time.

Today I'm chatting with you guys about a book I happened upon at my LOCAL Library! How cool is that? It is a well thought-out, smartly drafted collection that begins with the full complete and thurough history of Tea time, then introduces poetry by a wide variety of voices and authors on an even wider variety of topics, before giving you recipes, menu plans, and setups for hosting your own poetic tea time adventure! I have always had a fond place in my heart for tea and poetry and the connection they share in my day to day and its so incredible to see that other people feel this way and that there's a book out there that truly wants to help you have and even host a great experience combining the two!

All the pieces we'll share in today's episode were provided by Poetry.org and were drafted out to go along with a lesson plan for middle and high schoolers about Pride, it's history, and some of the trials and tribulations that should be better known history. I think that makes today's episode especially fascinating and hopefully it sparks conversation among you, your friends, families and homes!

This episode is a start of the conversation that is PRIDE - June and I want to say that Pride is so much more than rainbows and parties. It's an understanding. It's a celebration.

This epsiode of the learning to fly podcast contains poetry from "Mouthful of Forevers" by Clementine Von Radics and a review at the end of the episode as well. This stunning, stunning collection speaks to so many different life moments, to trauma, to accidents and violence, but also to the loneliness that comes from being forgotten or moved past in relationships. There's truly something for every reader here, and this collection accomplishes everything I hope to with this podcast (as a whole) and SO much more as well.

My lovely friend from across the pond (met thanks to this lovely pandemic) joins me today in a much-awaited highly-anticipated episode of the podcast. To talk all things mental health awareness, accessibility rights and access, and of course, writing!
Note: In part of this episode Miggy and I discuss elephants and the communities that share space with them. We want to acknowledge that we are western citizens who won't know the full context of these communities or their views of the animals they share an environment with.
Also while the term is not used, we want to clarify that we were speaking more against the poaching of these animals and those that commit that act.

I think there's a lot to be said about the views Franny shares in her work and about how clearly she makes her pains, struggles, and stigmas come off the page. So even as a reader who is not of these ethnicities or facing these exact problems I am still in the moment and it feels as though I am experiencing them first hand - and I hope you are as well.

Today is a busy day for me. I'm part of a volunteer effort. I'm hosting sharing Space from 6-8 pm PST (feel free to tune in from www.twitch.tv/sincerelybluejay or on Instagram live) and I have a friend coming into town for a few days. All of these things had to happen today. And are for such different and amazing reasons. That being said I feel like the only poetry that would adequately embody today and all of the mixed emotions is the author Iain S. Thomas of Iwrotethisforyou.me. Yes, I've shared his work here before, but there are definitely some pieces we've not yet heard on the podcast in today's episode and there are some that are just amazing no matter how many times you hear them and I think there's so much beauty in that.

This collection by Natalie Marie was gifted to me through a giveaway! And I think that is part of the reason it is so incredibly special to me. I am thrilled to share some of the poems and a little review with you in celebration of National Strawberry Month - because this book has all the elements of a nice ripe strawberry. The sweet, the sour, the in between and so much more!

I keep coming back to this collection to share with you guys. Part of the reason is that even owning the book every time I revisit it, I see things I missed, and I find new ways of looking at each piece or even individual lines.
But maybe I'm also biased because I've been taking workshops with Neil for a good portion of the pandemic and it gives me an entirely new perspective and fondness for his writing.

This episode is another way to celebrate Mental Health Awareness month through poetry and community.
Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sincerelybluejaypoetry/message
I often look at the work written and shared by the incredible poet Rudy Francisco as food for thought. Every single piece teaches me something, reminds me of something, or gives me new and different perspective.
There are so many things to celebrate in the month of May: Mental health awareness, AAPI Heritage Month, Jewish American Heritage month, wildfire awareness and prevention, foster care month, Military appreciation and still so much more. I'd like to celebrate as much as possible while still holding true to the initial purpose of this podcast - beginning conversations and inspiring people to create and share their own works. That being said, I think Rudy touches on many of the boxes while still providing classic food for thought.

In today's episode of the Learning to Fly podcast, I shared a handful of poems written by my poetic friend of many names. I shared them in an order that makes sense to me. In an order that moves me like no other. But I'd like to say that each and every one of these poems stands alone or could work together to tell a story. And that - that is ultimately why we're sharing this voice in celebration and recap of this wonderful event.

For today's episode it felt so incredibly right to pick up Paper Heart by Boomie Bol - and even though this collection was gifted to me, it has become a staple in my collection and my go to gift for other life livers.

So to celebrate this incredibly important and powerful day, I wanted to showcase a variety of women's voices throughout time in poetry. I wanted to also showcase voices from a variety of walks of life and I hope I accurately represented these stunning women for all they have done (and their work continues to do on behalf of them). Happy International Women's day and thank you so so so much for joining me on today's episode of Learning To Fly

It didn't feel right to have a month full of women's voices (with very few exceptions) this month and not include Carolyn L. Robinson. She has seven incredible collections, they are so good I read all 7 in one sitting one night. ANYWAY this is revisiting and reading (in no particular order) poems from her most recently published collection I Write to Keep Me Sane. And I love this one. Please enjoy and consider supporting or following her on whatever social media platforms you prefer!

This epsiode is composed of poetry from Shine Your Icy Crown by Amanda Lovelace.

Today's episode is full of segments from When the Stars Wrote Back by Trista Mateer! I really love the way this collection grows and empowers. There is so much light within these pages - even if it seems to be hiding at first.

Today's epsiode features random poems from Neil Hilborn (@Neilicorn on Instagram) 's collection The Future. Which is probably one of my favorite collections of his so far.
It feels right to use his poems to celebrate National Grammar Day because he runs a 10 week workshop (in repetitive sessions) and always reminds us how much of a nerd he is. And how important grammar is even if we say fuck the prompt or fuck the workshop. It's kinda fun. Also he teaches college kids poetry and grammar - so that's fitting.
IT's also national pound cake day - and I feel like this is an important thing to celebrate because we all need a little sweetness to balance out the tart of life and the detailed devils of grammar! Have a great day and I'll see you again tomorrow!

I love how this collection not only reminisces on life and even clearly touches on women's history (appropriately so for March: Women's history month) but adds updated details and reflections. So no matter which side of the spectrum you're on, there's something to resonate and guide you. I also think that Maureen's voice is so incredibly clear and powerful that it is fitting for today as a whole.

I thought a long time about what I wanted to share today and what tone I wanted to set on Learning to Fly for the month of March. I love the duality and the growth in this collection by Parker Lee Formerly known as Cyrus Parker. I think we all need to stop and consider the choices we make and how these moments effect not only ourselves and our personal growth but those around us as well. And personally, I know that with the month ahead I want to continue inspiring and being available for those around me.
Right after the ad, there's a question I want to pose to you: What book would you like to read again?
Also, the book I'm reading from in today's episode (in no particular order) is Coffee Days Whiskey Nights by Parker Lee formerly known as Cyrus Parker.

There used to be a girl in my choir class with the last name of Elliot. I adored reading T. S. Elliot poetry at that time and she always made fun of me, like she owned the rights to enjoyment or to his work. It was a complicated time in my life LOL and I haven't really revisited his works in a long time because of this. Today that changes as I have decided to do an episode on three of his most interesting poems (in my opinion) and I am excited to share them with you.

Today's episode is about a fantastic poet trying to address disability and mental health in their poetry and especially the importance of having awareness and understandings of such things during a pandemic. Both of her books were released in 2020 and embrace this conversation with open arms and an open heart as well. The goal with "The Many Personalities of Me" was simply to have work people could relate to available for them to find. And "Not Another Poetry book: Just Kidding" is a happier take on connection and life despite disability and mental health issues. Which make these collections all the more important to read and share. And of course review on GoodReads and Amazon!

Today just feels like a snow day. Like a day of marveling at a beauty that couldn't possibly last longer than the day - the week at most. Like snow resting on the tip of your tongue and the occasional - unexplainable shiver down your spine. So, I shared some of my favorite poems that make the idea of a snow day all the more reasonable, tangible, and imaginable.

Sometimes finding inspiration is the most difficult part of putting your best foot forward. Especially with the coming of a new year coupled with the growth of an up and coming artist. That being said, today's guest, Sarah, can be found on Instagram @girl.withapencil and is a frequent face on Sharing Space - a biweekly Instagram Live event. Where she is finding both her voice and a genuine audience. This is the kind of growth and artistry that Learning to Fly strives to embrace.

Today's creative prompt is: Counting Dreams and as I sat down to put together today's episode I was truly inspired by this idea of counting dreams. So I've decided to read a small handful of poems from my upcoming collection "Dear Bouquet" which will be available later this year. I also took some time to talk about making my dreams come true and how incredible it feels to be able to count the dreams I made possible while the world continues to right itself from the Covid-19 incident.
Even more than all of this though, I'd like to invite you to share your dreams in the making and your achieved dreams with me as well. I'd love to talk about them on the podcast. I'd like to invite you to Sharing Space (an Instagram Live event I host on Tuesdays and Saturdays) so you can share the things you create and the things that inspire you while being surrounded by genuinely kind and talented souls. Let's talk about you! About your dreams! And celebrate them as a community.

Welcome, everyone! I am so excited to have Learning to Fly up and running again! And to be starting the New Year off together!
Today's poem features "Time to Come" by Walt Whitman, "The sole intention of creating this" by Ric BASTASA, "The dancing went on without him" by Afxa (Screenname), and to bring everything full circle, "Whoever You are Holding me in your hand" by Walt Whitman.
I think that poetry with intention and poetry written intentionally is a fantastic foundation for this coming year and for further growth of myself and this community. That being said, Happy New Year everyone!
Also, today's prompt is: snowfall at dawn. I hope that this inspires you to write, draw, sing, or explore your other creative passions and I look forward to seeing anything you create with the hashtags #SincerelyBlueJayWriteins or #BlueJayprompts
