I think poetry is also such a fascinating medium to tell truth. Its sometimes really hard realities, you know, even if it's filled with hope. I'm just so intrigued by this form and how it's still with us, and what it could mean. And i have found i even just those moments that that i have, even the energy of that poet just sitting there for that length of time and crafting, that you can sense the meaning in it. You can sense the heart of it. Even if there is an argument being made,. There's still this um you can feel the soul of it. It's kind of interesting, when you think about it, that it's that it
Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist and poet whose work is inspired by real-life interactions and stories. Morgan spent the first couple of years of her professional life as a college admission counselor, and then, as a full-time touring singer-songwriter and musician. It was on the road that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share her work online.
In 2017, Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website. From there, she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to them before sharing the work publicly. All stories and names are kept private. The fruit of this project is shared daily around social media, in publications, and various creative collaborations and installations.
As an artist, Morgan has collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, Vogue Singapore, Aerie, and more. As a designer and author, her work has been available in many stores, including Anthropologie, Barnes and Noble, and Target. Her latest book, How Far You Have Come: Musings on Beauty and Courage (https://amzn.to/3azMSgm)is a beautiful collection of illustrations, poems and essays and we dive into the verse, experiences and moments that often reveal deeply personal, yet universal awakenings, in today’s conversation.
