Atomic Poetry. For All That Matters

Matter: every second and millisecond we rub against it, releasing unused energy. We hold it within, unaware of our power. From a single joyful body to the entire universe, we’re star stuff. As a result, we create new worlds when we break ourselves open to connect. My name is Autumn Hayes, and I’m here to share art and poetry that crack the core of what seems ordinary, fusing us in new ways…if we’ll let them.

I write, I speak, I teach, I travel, I read. Please subscribe to the Atomic Blog, check out my most recent work, or reach out for information about readings, workshops, and more!
