Typoetic.us Presents: Digging Deep, Facing Self - Special Edition #1
In July 2013, three of the Typoetic.us editors took the first session of an online writing course called Digging Deep, Facing Self - a 30 Day intensive writing course designed to uplift, heal, and transform women into their boldest selves led by Caits Meissner.
In honor of connections, womanhood, mind blowing creativity, and the woman who leads this movement, Caits Meissner - we are excited to present work from 28 women who showcase the essence of Digging Deep, Facing Self. This special edition of Typoetic.us celebrates Digging Deep, Facing Self’s first year of life.
May this community continue to grow in number and in strength to teach women all over the world to live their lives through the pen and beyond.
Thank you to all the women who contributed to the issue, to my editors for doing a fantastic job of pulling all of this together, and to Caits for creating the DDFS course. To find out more about Digging Deep, Facing Self, visit www.caitsmeissner.com/course.

One participant from the course decided to share her work with us via spoken word tracks. Check out the poetry of Libby Mislan!
Libby Mislan is a poet specializing in interdisciplinary performance. Her poetry shares a heart with music and dance and is often performed accompanied by ambient grooves and dance. She gravitates towards tales of transformation, healing and epiphany, and is heavily influenced by the natural world as well as the landscapes and culture of her New York City home. Deeply inspired by hip hop and the power of rhythmic certainty, rhyme weaves its way through much of her work. Libby is the co-founder of Expression Sessions (expressionsessions.tumblr.com), an interdisciplinary arts space/workshop for creative exploration, healing and growth through meditation, movement and poetry.
