Exciting news! I'm thrilled to announce that I'm changing my name from Kay Bell to Kay Poema!
But why Poema, you ask? In Greek, the name "Kay Poema" can be interpreted as:
  • "Κάι" (Kai) - Κ (K) is a prefix meaning "pure" or "clean"
  • "Ποίημα" (Poema) - means "masterpiece" or "work of art"
Together, "Kay Poema" can be seen as "Pure Masterpiece" or "Clean Work of Art" in Greek.
This combination reflects a beautiful ideal: striving for purity of intention, thought, and action, while cultivating creativity and excellence in all aspects of life. I'm embracing this name change as a reminder to myself to strive for excellence and to create my life's work with intention, passion, and purpose.

​In verse and vigor,
Kay Poema

    What is Poetic Pathways?

    Poetic Pathways is an inclusive poetry collective that gathers throughout the year at various venues in the Bronx to foster creativity, connection, healing and to highlight the artistic and cultural value in the Bronx borough. Created by poet and educator, Kay Bell, our meetups provide a safe space for marginalized voices to be amplified, promoting visibility and community. Founded on the principles of healing and self-expression, Poetic Pathways leverages poetry as a therapeutic tool to process and cope with trauma and challenges specific to marginalized communities. Through collaborative writing, social connection, and shared experience, we aim to:
    Provide a supportive environment for marginalized individuals to share their stories, facilitate emotional expression and processing through poetry , foster resilience and coping strategies and promote mental wellness and self-care.

    Please note: Poetry is not a replacement for professional therapy or mental health services. We encourage individuals to consult with a mental health professional for personalized guidance.
