DANDY DOUBLE: Featuring Frances Denise & Dane Osborne
Our very first DANDY DOUBLE features two extraordinary poets who make their homes in southeastern Kentucky. Meet Frances Denise & Dane Osborne– walk with them through wild worlds of poetry, and experience the overlap between the personal and the universal, the present and the eternal. Both of these poets have mastered the craft of noticing, of zooming in with the mind’s eye, exploring the smallest details & movements of life, and weaving their words into masterpieces that address our deepest questions as human beings.
Poems for the Flower Moon
Dandelion Scribes presents a selection of 16 poems to celebrate the rise of the full Flower Moon on May 23, 2024. Join these poets who seek out the moon for wisdom & inspiration– and perhaps write a little something of your own to share with us in June! Cover photo by Stephen Phillips.
