POETRY
& creative non-fiction
slp/maudlyn monroe’s Substack is a combination of music newsletter—featuring releases, updates, stories behind the music—as well as a place to connect with listeners and other writers, and muse over disability, Madness, decolonization, music, poetry, and maybe a bit of Buddhism and psychedelics. I know, so trite, right.
