Wife. Mum. Lover of words. Lover of the Word. Writer of stories. I drink too much coffee and dream improbably big dreams. The quintessentially weird kid, all grown up and (still) finding refuge in books and words. View all posts by Liezel Graham

Today, is World Poetry Day and I thought I would do a brave thing and record a live reading of one of my poems — on being the holy broken. . This is a first for me and I have no clue what I am doing, so please forgive me for the imperfections and the boy-child noise in the background, but apart from a Poet’s cape, I also wear a Mum cape ;-) and boys don’t have a volume adjustor! . I will be posting the full version on my writer’s page on Facebook and if anyone can tell me how to share this to my ‘Stories’ I would be most grateful. . Enjoy, . liezel . . . . #spilledthoughts #indiepoetry #spilledink #wordswithqueens #wordswithkings #poetryreading #poetry #words #worldpoetryday #onbeingtheholybroken #iweepinink #wordsmith #shewrites #healing #kindness #liezelgraham #liezelgrahampoetry #poetsofinstagram

all the tears of my foremothers, spill hot relief onto the pages that i write. i weep in ink. . —on why i write. . © Liezel Graham 2018. . Photograph by Gustavo Alcantara. . Why do I write? Why do I bleed ink onto paper? Because of them, because of you and because of me. . There are women, who share my DNA — generations back and there are women who are my sisters by the sharing of hearts, and wombs and fears — women not known to me, but whose stories share the same ancient refrain. . Whose voices need to be heard — need to be honoured. . Whose healing I seek — for me, and for those who will walk the earth after me. . My hope is that they will walk in love and healing and peace. . This, is why I write, . liezel . . . #worldpoetryday #poetry #writing #whyiwrite #indiepoetry #indiepoet #woman #womanempowerment #healing #healingwords #words #wordsmith #shewrites #wordswithqueens #iweepinink #liezelgraham #liezelgrahampoetry #spilledink #spilledthoughts #poetrycircle #scottishpoets #healingfromwithin #healingfromthepast #poetsocietyofinstagram #poetsofinstagram #soulwork #fightforyourhealing #livemoremagic #sacredfeminine
