I try not to make this blog too political, but I think that the arts are as always under attack, under funded and not valued in society which is why this please me so very much.

Because a vote for me is a vote for humanity (ok not really but please vote)
Torrid Literature published my poem, We is, this summer and is now having a contest for their literary hall of fame. If you would be so kind to vote for me, that would be awesome. I’m on page three, Rachael Stanford, We is. You can vote
We is by Rachael Stanford
We
Is
Laughing at linguists who
could never comprehend
though the space between our
fingertips
is wider than the Grand Canyon
the barren plains punctuating
I forge, unashamedly naked
The bitter November winds
lick my flesh
We is
Enveloped in blurred realities
Of your memories, warmed by the linger
Touch of your flesh, a permanent tattoo
I run, unwavering by demons of doubt
A happy toddler, each step in you
A cosmos
We.
Thanks again for the vote, I’m happy to return the favor!
If you could help out…..
I got a very exciting email today. My play “The Wall” was selected for the reader’s choice competition for Independent Play(w)rights. To win, I’ll need the most votes.
I wrote this play for an amazing friend of mine who first helped me with theatre. He was involved with theatre all of his life and his passion for life and art amazed me. Â Sadly, we lost him way too soon. I hoped to honor his spirit with my piece.
