If you're a Rachel McKibbens fan like, me, you'll be overjoyed to know that she is a fellow blogger...holla! I first heard of her on IndieFeed and was so happy when I stumbled across her blog this morning. If you haven't heard about this bad a$$ poetess, well, now's the time to get hip to it!
She was kind enough to include the text of this poem in a recent blogpost. Way to read my mind Rachel!!
"A mama forgets what her weapons can do.
Can't know which of her failures
will be what does it."
Besides being an all around rockin' chica, Rachel also recently took home the title spot in the 2009 Women of the World Poetry Slam (WOWps). She is (was?) the slam master of the New York City LouderArts Project - a not-for-profit arts corporation committed to developing constructive and challenging spaces for artists to create, critique, present, and teach poetry. Rachel also apparently "collects butcher knives in her spare time:-)" You can thank Mongo for that last bit of trivia.
Check out her blog .
