3.   Now go to the park. 
Unbutton sky. This is your home-
work. 

~ Anna Jacobson, from 'Lessons in Anxiety'

Below are a suite of poems commissioned from 2022 Red Room Poetry Fellowship Shortlist Poet Anna Jacobson, from her project, 'Meld'.

Poetry is my voice. Poetry is how I reclaim my self. Poetry is how I feel seen and heard. So often the medical world has taken my voice and agency from me – poetry is how I get it back.
