Aug 14, 9:13am (1 review) activism, photography, video, homelessness, anitra http://wesrunoff.blogspot.com/2008/08/no...- WHEEL, the homeless women's organization I work with, is trying to start a new, short-term shelter to meet a crisis level of turnaways of women seeking shelter referrals. The Mayor seems to have a hard time hearing us, so yesterday we held a Pot and Pan Rally and Parade at City Hall, and made a lot of noise! Wes joined me, and took some photos and video.

Beloved Community: A Sisterhood of Homeless Women in Poetry is now published! This is an anthology of writing by homeless and formerly homeless women, previously printed in yearly chapbooks since by WHEEL, a homeless women's organizing effort here in Seattle Washington, which I am honored to have been a part of for the last twelve years. I have poems in the book, too. :) All royalties from the sale of this book go to support WHEEL and other programs dedicated to ending homelessness.

Mar 3, 2007 8:24pm (1 review) family, poetry, blogs, anitra http://maturenotdead.blogspot.com/2006/1...- It's nice to be read. :) I found my poem "What Is Family?" quoted on "P B & J" weblog, in musings about family during the Christmas holiday season.
What Is Family?
Family are the shouts in the dark that keep you awake
trying to be invisible under your blankets. Family is the warm heart you run to when everyone else at the rink skates too fast and you've cut your knees on the ice. Family are given to you at birth with your eyes and lips and nose. They will stick to you wherever you go and shape how you see and what you say and how you are seen forever.
Family are found new each day wherever you put your heart last. Family are the people you share bread with, and whoever you share the lack of bread with. Sometimes your family aren't people. Family is whoever lives under the tent of your soul. Your family can be as big as you are, and from birth to death, your real, real family are the ones who make you grow bigger
