博客來Foreword
As a collective, the Inner Child Poetry Posse, we begin our twelfth year of writing three poems every month. Each year we have a theme. In the past it has been Nobel peace prize winners, children who are changing the world, countries, cultures, flowers and more. This year we turn inward and look at what is in our hearts, what we notice about the world around us, how we fit and what is important to us. As the days of 2025 get longer and there is more light in the sky we focus on three feelings: Innocence, Joy, and Longing. In February, we will write about our curiosity, fear, and loneliness. Each month we will explore different feelings, each in our own way and hope by the end of 2025 to have 36 poems and a new perspective on our lives. Come with us on the journey. As you read our poems, do your own exploration of the topics, of how you feel, and what you notice about yourself and your community. Share your writing, poems, and personal essays with friends and family. At Inner Child Press, we often have anthologies with open calls. We hope you enjoy our poems and look forward to sharing words and this world with you in the New Year.
