Kelly here!! Coming off of a much-needed break in Spain & responding to the messy Lesbianism in Mean Girls AND Larissa’s Third Eye Blind piece from last week.
ALSO, if you live in Amsterdam, we’ve got a fun event coming up on Friday that coincides with a certain someone’s album release date. Scroll down for deets!!!
ILY,

Amsterdam, You’re Invited! 🎙️
Come listen to Taylor Swift’s new album (TTPD) + a huge lineup of hot poet performances this Friday at Lola Lieven!!
Unwanted Words has partnered with Poetry Trapper Keeper to bring you the UWW x PTK "Tortured Poets Department" Mic and Listening Party happening at Lola Lieven on 19 April from 19-22h!
We'll kick off the event with a line-up of poets who have taken on the (fun! exciting! maybe even slightly overwhelming!) task of writing a brand-new poem based on a randomly assigned track title from T.Swift's new album. We'll finish the night, of course, with a full listen of "The Tortured Poets Department" (will there be critique? will there be crying? will there be singing? so many exciting possibilities!).
Tickets are €5 (or €8 and you get a fancy limited edition Tortured Poets Department-themed sticker with your entry). There's also a cash bar (well, it's Amsterdam, so of course they accept pin). We'll also have stickers for sale at the event, if that's your thing. If you're unable to cover the ticket price, email us at unwantedwords@gmail.com and we'll make sure you can still get in!
***THIS EVENT IS IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM ASSOCIATED WITH, ENDORSED BY, PROMOTED BY, OR AFFILIATED WITH TAYLOR SWIFT, HER RECORD COMPANY UNIVERSAL MUSIC AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY ASSOCIATED WITH SWIFT. THIS IS AN INDEPENDENT FAN EVENT.***
Your poetry prompt for the week is to figure out where the limit DOES in fact exist. (Because I’m a Taurus and I struggle with limits).
Okay, gotta go work on my T Swift piece for the open mic, Gaylors!!! See you Friday.
