For a long time I’ve run a poetry blog called
“Oatmeal Anorexia and Other Acts of Poetry”
Starting today I changed the title to “ThisKindofBird”
For a long time the blog existed as a place where I went to release the frustration and pain of struggling with disordered eating– I will still feature mental illness as a main theme of my poetry but I changed the blog’s name to celebrate the parts of myself that flourish despite being entangled with OCD, anxiety, bi-polar disorder, and depression
“ThisKindofBird” is a reference to a poem by Diane di Prima call “The Window”
