A Reading of "Dead Doe" (poem by Brigit Pegeen Kelly)

w/ Writing Prompts

Listen to “Dead Doe” as many times as you need to feel connected to it.

Write freely, urgently for 11-17 minutes on what causes your breath to falter, what spins your mind, what is heart-stopping….Be sure to conjure images amid and among the ideas.

Then, write 3 large questions you have about your life.

Listen again to “Dead Doe.”
