Overview

After a solid seven-year case of writer's block, poet L.L. Barkat decided to write a 30-Day Challenge. The challenge was offered on Substack by The Write to Poetry. The result? Beyond the Glass: Poems. If you take anything from Beyond the Glass, the poet hopes it will be this: you can make it through. The poems themselves are testament to life's surprising turns; they look both backwards and forwards, with the realization that it is art that holds us (or can). What else holds us? The love of those we choose to surround ourselves with, whether from past or present. All thirty prompts are included at the back of the collection, so you can use them, too-compliments of The Write to Poetry.
