For National Poetry Month, Besa Gordon highlighted talented poets around the greater Seattle area on Back2Besa over the weekend. One of those poets was Rhea Melina, who performed her poem “Pulling Down God Is Easy” at the Black Media Matters Studio.

Reah, a multi-ethnic poet, parent, and teacher, has been writing and releasing poetry since the early 2000’s. You can get her recent chapbook, “A Place To Put Things,” at AntiquatedFuture.com.
