The Etymology of Forgiveness: Melissa Ferrer-Civil

Confessing Animals

&&& Poet. Musician. Speaker. Educator. Friend. &&&

Melissa Ferrer-Civil, formerly known as Missy T. Ferrari, belongs to no one place in particular. She lives in Kansas City but her home is in the Spirit. She is a renegade with hippie tendencies. Her spoken word poems and songs are mostly meditations and responses to the world around her and her own internal journey. Through poetry, music, space holding, and workshop facilitation she seeks to provide a sense of solidarity to all people, encourage people to act unto peace and love, and foster community among both like and unlike minded people.

Her debut chapbook Birthing Pains is available through 8th Street Publishing Guild. https://www.8thstreetpublishing.com/
