I've never considered calling anyone a "muse." - I find that the term itself is not something I relate to. I do however find sparks of pure nuclear energy in the voice and work of quite a few incredible poets. They have ignited my curiosity over the years to look deeper inward and keep writing. I'm deeply grateful to these poets, mostly women, for allowing their authentic self to lift up others so profoundly through their words. Much love and forever thanks! Thank you for reading!
