Good shit 🔥
That pull quote is 🔥 and the rest of the poem is it’s equal
I am so stoked not just to have been nominated, but to have been nominated by @trampset.bsky.social, a journal I have admired for many years and which I had the fortune of finding a home for this piece with 🖤
Day 5 of the @sealeychallenge.bsky.social is the exquisiteness of @donikakelly.bsky.social’s debut
Day 4 of the @sealeychallenge.bsky.social is this inventive gem by Dodie Bellamy. A must-read of erotic, romantic, pornographic poetry.
I split Sharon Olds’ Arias into two days for @sealeychallenge.bsky.social because of its generous length, but what a gift to spend so much time with her work. Olds never fails to stop me in my tracks, again and again.
Sharon Olds can write a poem about anything, and I will read it, and love it, and wish that I’d written it
Where are my @sealeychallenge.bsky.social folks at?? Day 1 is complete; I chose this beautiful collection by @victoriachang.bsky.social to kick it off with a deep, contemplative bang
I'm in a post-Kenyon glow, just wanting to read everything and write every moment, and there are already so many things I want to share and shout into this void even though it may go nowhere, and one them is this fantastic poem by @dia-roth.bsky.social in Sixth Finch: sixthfinch.com/roth1.html
This is equal parts bleak and confusing
This poem from Heritage Aesthetics is just 🔥
Support 👏🏼your 👏🏼local 👏🏼bookstores 👏🏼today 👏🏼
Since we’re still Mid-Conclave, now seems a good time to post this amazing poem by THE Sharon Olds
I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again
Buy from my homies @greenapplebooks.bsky.social!
It’s a much easier question to answer
Normalize asking people “How aren’t you?”
As a bookseller in California, this all rings so true! Down to selling lots of copies of “Meditations” and none of Schumer’s book, lol
I feel like I should probably include “you will end up in my writing if I date you” to all my dating app profiles
😂😂 omgggg
Nobody warned me how many customer farts I’d hear while
working retail.
