POETRY OPEN MIC IS NOW HOSTED
AT NORTH COAST WORKS 

417 HOWARD STREET IN DOWNTOWN PETOSKEY, RIGHT NEXT TO JULIENNE TOMATOES. I COULD NOT BE MORE GRATEFUL FOR LOCAL MEETING PLACES. EVERY THIRD MONDAY, COUNT ON IT!

I am a poet

of the lake,

poetess, actually.

My hands gather 

her fossil bones-

the calcium 

drinks my fingertips

chalking them

white with dust.

My heart is here

although storms

never come-

just rain, anymore.

What if I drank

too much whiskey

one night

and then told the lake

that I was her

poetess forever.

Would she 

reflect me differently-

a stranger forever?

Bah,

I can't care.

The storm passes us by

again

and I am still

and ever

your poetess

and stranger.

IF NOT US, WHO?
POETESS AND STRANGER COLLECTS PERSONAL CARE ITEMS YEAR ROUND FOR THE NORTHMEN DENS PROGRAM. NORTHMEN DENS IS A PANTRY PROGRAM IN EACH OF OUR SCHOOLS THAT PROVIDES FREE FOOD AND PERSONAL CARE ITEMS FOR STUDENTS WITH A NEED. PREFERRED ITEMS: TOOTHBRUSHES, TOOTH PASTE, DEODRANT, BODY WASH (BAR SOAP IS NOT PREFERRED), SHAMPOO, CONDITIONER, DENTAL FLOSS, LIP BALMS, LOTION, ETC. LARGE SIZED ITEMS ARE NOT EASY FOR THE STUDENTS TO FIT INTO THEIR BAGS, REGULAR OR TRAVEL SIZES ARE AN EXCELLENT SOLUTION FOR THIS. I AM ALWAYS WILLING TO ACCEPT CASH DONTIONS AND BUY ITEMS FOR THIS PROGRAM AS WELL.

LITTLE FREAK PANTRY IS SPECIFIC TO THE SHOPPE'S BRICK AND MORTAR LOCATION AND IS A FOOD & DIGNITY ITEM PANTRY FOR PEOPLE DOWNTOWN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE MONEY TO HELP ME MAINTAIN THIS PANTRY, 100% OF YOUR DONATION WILL BE USED FOR THIS PURPOSE, PLEASE SPECIFY LITTLE FREAK PANTRY OR NORTHMEN DENS WHEN YOU DONATE.

OUR VISION

there has to be a place we start

somewhere we are allowed to

be curious and be curious

a place where women matter

a place of tenderness and conscience

a place for new voices and the natural world

a place whose purpose is to reveal the beauty

and magic in each of us

a place with a heart and a soul and

a mind for change

there has to be a place we start

to be the people our world needs

more healers and dreamers

more makers and menders and believers

there has to be a place we start

so let it be here.
