Today's flash briefing poetry reading is a submission by J. Cirillo in Portland, OR. I give out postcards and ask listeners to mail them back with what they are reading/listening to/watching that gives them hope, and J.'s was the first to come back. Even better: it had an original poem on it! It made my day and I am happy to share it hear and promote J.'s work. I love submissions like this, so visit (thepoetryvlog.com); interactive links will give you ways to submit requests, original work, or audio recordings of your own to the weekly flash briefing poetry readings. Hope to hear from many of you! ● The Poetry Vlog is a YouTube Channel and Podcast dedicated to building social justice coalitions through poetry, pop culture, cultural studies, and related arts dialogues.
