Poetry to Bridge The Gap: To *** by Aleksandr Pushkin

To bind and remake into oneness our separation, to remind us that we are, in essence, the scattered beating heart of one body.

When You Feel Like Giving Up, Look Back On This One Thing

You run out of ‘easy [choices]’ once you reach the ripe age of five.

Poetry to Bridge The Gap: Ella Yevtushenko’s Autumn Begins with Something Trivial

autumn begins with something trivial: keys forgotten in another city,
silver coins of cough in the throat, a Turkish cup of tea

Creating space for women’s growth.

Sawubona, dear reader! She[k] Writes is a place where young women come together and celebrate the loops, the ups and downs, of growth. We believe in creating and pursuing the meaningful rather than living our whole lives in the shadow of avoiding pain and discomfort. We believe growth can be messy and lonely but equally just as worthwhile. We are happy to have you with us.
