Visual Art – Chicago
My name is Siera Carpenter. I am a poet and a yoga instructor. I created a union between my work teaching yoga and my written work that allows me to curate a safe space for all people to be vulnerable and free in. My classes are founded on the idea of being inclusive spaces. My poetry addresses issues of sexuality, race, gender, and pain. I make physical prints of my poems as well. My work has been featured in small-press literary magazines, and I have done many different public readings of my poetry throughout Illinois. My art is my heart, and through this transparency I find that it resonates with a lot of people.
