A short anthem to promote my upcoming book, Presence of mind

Not just online. Not just at open mics. Not just your friends. But in your everyday life… Who actually knows? Many poets want visibility, opportunities, and growth while remaining almost completely invisible in the real world. Representation matters. If people don’t know what you do, they can’t: - remember you - refer you - support you - connect opportunities to you - pay you So we’re starting simple and practical. 🚗 Assignment #1: Poet Representation on the Road We want to encourage poets to consider getting a personalized license plate frame that represents their identity and journey as a poet. Imagine someone seeing: “I’m Living The Poet Life” or your social media handle? …while sitting behind you in traffic. That’s representation. That’s conversation-starting. That’s positioning. @Joshua Clark how has your frame been treating you? 🧠 This Series Is About More Than A License Plate Frame! It’s about: - visibility - identity - confidence - positioning - becoming recognizable - making poetry part of your everyday presence Over the next 2 weeks, we’ll continue discussing: - representation - branding - public identity - visibility in everyday life - how poets position themselves in the world https://www.thepoetlife.com/shop/cars For now, let’s start here: 👇🏽 Comment below if you plan to represent your brand and poetry as a whole while you drive!
