The cover of J. Mae Barizo’s The Cumulus Effect: a photograph of a rumpled blanket and sheets on a bed in blue light
(7/61) “In the other memory the severed arm speaks. / In the other memory it is as silent as snow.” — @jmaebarizo.bsky.social, “New York” (The Cumulus Effect) @fourwaybooks.bsky.social #61WomenPoets #WOC #61Books61Days #TheSealeyChallenge #SeptWomenPoets
I’m late but this essay is wonderful. A meditation on refusing to relinquish joy as much as it is about anything else
Remembering #EricGarner, sharing this poem by Ross Gay, posted by poet Othuke Umokoro, from TwX:

including contributions from J. Mae Barizo, Nancy Freund, Greg Gerke, Daniel Kennedy, Ben Libman, Alvin Lu, Mikra Namani, Lisa Robertson, Ryan Ruby and more

"Tell me that you do not think of me, that you / have forgotten the wild proscenium of cloud, / how bodies affix and then elide, the sky’s / stenography."
Read a new poem by J. Mae Barizo:
"We felt an ache we realized was happiness, almost unbearable."
