Original Poetry and Stories

"We write poems in order to engage in the perilous yet necessary struggle to inhabit ourselves—our real selves, the ones we barely recognize—more completely."

-- Tracy K. Smith, from from Survival in Two Worlds at Once: Federico García Lorca and Duende

Update 2/17/13: To anyone who has followed or commented on my work in the past, I've finally returned to the site. I apologize for being gone so long, but these past few years have been soul-trying, to say the least. But I look forward to reading and submitting more work to PnP. : )

May inspiration always come your way.

Sincerely,

Shannon
