Stone Soup Poetry meets every Wednesday online from 7:00-9:00 PM via Zoom. Stay tuned for updates on any future live gatherings. On March 4, we welcome the return of author and activist Arthur "Stratusfier" Williams to our virtual podium.
Arthur "Stratusfier" Williams is a neurodivergent poet who aims to provide meaningful representation and amplify the neurodivergent voice within his communities. He believes that a mental health diagnosis or comorbidity does not have to be a source of shame, fear, or a life without determinism. An artist does not have to be one who pulls works from inspiration born of manic heights, crippling lows, or the tumultuous and often traumatic experiences that result from their effect. Those of us who are “too much” are more than enough in the right setting with the right support. That all genius exists in those people who are willing to find the holes in their world, and their thinking, and fill them with something they created if it does not exist. And that having the willingness and ability to affect, and be affected, by someone else through expression, in any facet of life, is the definition of poetry in motion. Stratusfier is a proud facilitator with Writers Without Margins and recently a Peer Mentor with The NAN Project. He has been published in the WWM journal Volume IX Urban Elegy, WWM journal Volume X The Artifact, the journal F(r)iction: Arcana, and was a recipient of The Mayor’s Poetry Program Selection in Boston in 2021.Join us on Wednesday March 4 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET by clicking this link.
