I am here for the autistic poetics! I love reading your words (finding home in them too) and am excited for all of your offerings ✨ You’ve really made me read poetry with a different lens; one I owned but didn’t realise I could look through. Thank you 🧡
You know, I really recommend my program! It’s all online, accelerated courses (6 weeks each), you get to build your own research plan based on your area of interest (I have done several projects that were entirely poetry), a lot of ND or ND-affirming faculty, and they accept life experience as credits. This program made completion feel doable and actually sort of fun/exciting!
LEADS program at GVSU! Tuition is the same in and out of state and they’ve got really great school scholarships too. Happy to chat more if you’re interested! It’s been such a great experience for me.
I love this so much! I've been meaning to explore more of Oliver's work, because the few poems I've seen have resonated deeply, just as you describe here. I really look forward to reading more of your thoughts on all of it.
I frequently write TO Mary Oliver. I figured it's the next best thing since I won't be able to physically share space with her in this lifetime. I too, find she speaks the same language as I do. Looking forward to reading more of your thoughts.

Oh, this makes me so happy! Can't wait to discuss further when I get to finally share what I've been working on :)
I love this so much!!

Torri, I’m so excited for you!! Loved reading your thoughts on Mary Oliver and your autistic self. Wishing you all the best, my fellow autist🩷🩷
Eeep! Thank you for this :) can't wait to share more soon. I've been having the time of my life over here!
That’s awesome. I’ve been on the fence about finishing my bachelor’s for years so it’s really exciting seeing you go for it!

That’s been a part of my practice too, this time around. Love this, thank you!
