Over the first week of August, I got to attend the Glen Workshop in Santa Fe. I spent the mornings alongside some of my favorite poets in a workshop that was led by Scott Cairns.

In the afternoons, I attended readings, or I left campus with friends to sit at cafes and write beside each other and indulge in amazing food.

In the evenings, I listened to music and poetry, read poetry to others, joined a sing-along, danced, talked, and laughed a lot. This gathering of writers, artists, and musicians who care about beauty and faith are my people, and it was wonderful to be in their company.
