A prose poem I wrote about the moments of magic we experience every day. It's also an ars poetica - a poem about the process of writing poetry - that helped me better understand how we use language to convey our most deep-set emotions.
To and From the Asiatic Cheetah
This is a poem I wrote responding to a photograph taken by Franz Lanting - in fact, the last living photo ever, maybe, of the critically endangered asiatic cheetah. I won one of Stanford’s Planet Earth Arts Creative Writing prizes for this piece.
