Her dad woke up every morning after coughing through the night from breathing sand and dust at work and said “It’s another perfect day” and that is what she wants her poems to say: Even if you have sand in your lungs, it’s another perfect day.

    Hosted by Hannah Levy (@hnnhlvy)In this engaging conversation, Hannah Levy speaks with Jillian Stacia and Jo Krieg about the journey of publishing Jillian's poetry collection, "Set the Bone." Jillian shares her initial inspiration for writing poetry, which stemmed from a desire for creative expression rather than a goal of publishing a book. As she developed her craft and joined the Gather community, she found herself inspired to compile her poems into a collection, particularly after a pivotal moment involving a poem that encapsulated generational trauma. Jo, as the publisher, recounts her excitement upon receiving Jillian's manuscript and highlights the unique energy and interconnected themes present throughout the collection, emphasizing the importance of authenticity in poetry.Preorder Jill's book: arcanapoetrypress.comgatherpoets.com@gatherpoets on IG
