Conquer (made from Allure & Seventeen Magazine)


Conquer

Hurt has many faces
Resistance and acceptance,
history and identity,
loss and hope.

This is a tribute to the people who
just won't quit.
They endure.
The inspire.

Witness a miracle
& dare to come alive.

You are
living proof
of strength

Ready.
Set.
grow.

Hi Jess - Love your poetry collages! Do you have any interest in remixing others' poetry into art collages? At The Poetry Storehouse (poetrystorehouse.com) there are plenty of great contemporary poems available for creative remix. We have attracted mostly film-makers so far and have a sizeable archive of video remixes, but would really like to seem some fine art responses as well. No payment offered or requested, but we do showcase and promote both remixes and remixers at the site and via social media. I'm at nic_sebastian at hotmail dot com if you'd like any more information! Best, Nic
