Poetry as Prayer Prompt with Kai Coggin's Priest of the Invisible

In this video, I read Kai Coggin’s poem Priest of the Invisible from her book Mother of Other Kingdoms which celebrates its 1st bookversary today.

Check out the details of my 6-week course Poetry as Prayer starting on Wednesday April 30th here.

And now here’s the writing prompt:

Imagine that as a poet, your words hold magical power—they can heal, protect, or transform the world around you. Write a poem imagining you’re casting a spell. What miracle do you want to create? Perhaps you want to heal someone, make peace blossom in a troubled place, or invite joy into someone’s life. How does your poem (or "spell") work its magic? Use vivid imagery to describe how your words take shape and create change.
