BIO:
Stacy Hinojos, a Central Wisconsin author, has been writing poetry, prose, and short stories for years. Her writing experience spans freelance work for various businesses, including non-profits.  She recently achieved her top Bucket List goal by publishing her first book of poems, "These Words" in March 2024. "I hope readers will enjoy a few of my poems, and perhaps fall in love with one," she says. Her follow-up book, "A Thousand Melodies," is set for release on October 1, 2024. "Writing has been my therapist and best friend, especially on particularly difficult days. By publishing my work, I hope others feel that they are not alone." Stacy's poetry is raw, and unapologetic.

Untitled #2 (from These Words)

go ahead

strip down to your soul

get comfortable with your incompleteness

enjoy the breeze

on your bare bones

breathe in all the possibilities

this world can offer you

so much more

now exhale the things that no longer serve

Poetry

Untitled #1 (from These Words)
                         
I dug this grave,
with my bare hands…

Each handful of earth,
bearing my pain…

Clawing through my anger
tears washing my face…

I climb into the hole,
body aching with sweat…

Inhaling the mud as I sink
deeper into nothingness…

To sleep.
