imagine it written in cursive, a water-wave like palindrome- acca (they/them/y’all) is a trans poet, educator and practitioner of play. Poetry is a form of play that involves these vital alliterative parts: place, pause, poesis and pals. When we write, may it be creation in service of connecting us to where we are and each other, space when we need it, and friendship. Whether your poetry is written or spoken, a playground game or a favorite dish to cook, they are excited for your art to be in the world. Their favorite thing to yell is ‘That’s My Friend!’ so come meet them. Let’s be friends.
