There are places inside of you that only poetry can access.
Renowned poet Mary Oliver once described this sacred place as “that wild, silky part of ourselves," existing in a "mysterious, unmapped zone."
When we engage with poetry, we nourish our spirits by merging an interior world with the more material, external world.
About
Poems by Hannah Rogers are born of observations and the churnings of imagination. The inherent themes are not unique. Her goal is shared relatability. She navigates the basic human emotions that we all experience, those that rapidly change from one to the next; such as love turning to loss, then to grief mingled with rage, morphing into nostalgia. These themes sit inside other larger and just as relatable, but more fixed landscapes, such as womanhood, motherhood, and the planes of the soul — all of which feel too wild for modern life.
