Slowly But Slowly Poet Circle

Welcome to the dawn of a new and exciting creative project - the Slowly But Slowly Poet Circle! 

The Slowly But Slowly Poet Circle is a project to explore associations and stylistic variance among faith-inspired poets. For each poem series, the poets are exposed to a common prompt - a word or phrase - and then allowed to write their own poem in isolation from one another, to help prevent influencing each other during the creative process. Afterwards, they all compare their art and publish the result. The goal is to compare and contrast different thinkers and promote more careful and faith-infused thinking in the public through their poems.

Stay tuned for our upcoming project: Diary of a Snakebite Death.

Our Poets:

Timothy Reed - Timothy hails from the place where intuition and reason overlap, driven by the questions of life, embracing both the pain and the joy of the human experience. As the creator and host of the Slowly But Slowly Poet Circle, he hopes to provide thought-provoking content as a challenge and an inspiration to whoever may read this unique poetry.

Maaike -Maaike is Dutch-Canadian and grew up in East Africa. She is pursuing studies in World Arts, and sporadically experiments with words on her blog at: www.shoutofjoy.wordpress.com

bethany rené -  bethany rené is a twenty-something who consistently walks in the tension of the fight for life and the favor of God. her words are like brushes initiating strokes of paint to the illustration of that very journey. yoshi and several plants call bethany "mom". she often spends her saturdays with many friends and cups of coffee. you can find her over on instagram at @withfavorandfight or withfavorandfight.com

Heather S. - Heather S. has chosen to live/love among the brokenness of the world (particularly migration and war) and has drunk bitter tears herself along the way. Poetry, she’s found, has the astounding capacity to hold the tension of reality, allowing neither escape nor denial, yet giving voice. She concludes in one of her poems, “The Poet writes the mysteries and the mysteries write her, too. She eats them and she eats Him—and in writing, at last, she enters His rest.”
