Honored to Be Featured in Sappho’s Torque for National Poetry Month

National Poetry Month 2026: Kathi Crawford

I’m grateful to Angelique Jamail for featuring my poem “Being” from consider the light on her blog as part of National Poetry Month. Angelique’s thoughtful curation each April is a gift to poets and readers, and I’m honored to have my work included.

This poem is especially meaningful to me because it inspired the beautiful cover art created by Brooke Su

“Consuming a piece of art is two biographies meeting: the biography of the artist that might disrupt the viewing of the art; the biography of the audience member that might shape the viewing of the art. This occurs in every case.”
