if I knew all the words

You may have heard about the national book ban bill making the rounds in the U.S. House of Representatives, but did you know the Georgia House is working on its own bill to prosecute public librarians?

Happy pub day to Yah Yah Scholfield and On Sunday She Picked Flowers (@sagapressbooks.bsky.social).
I was lucky enough to review it for ArtsATL, and I loved it. It's a modern Gothic horror full of rage and need, violence and love, folklore and monsters. I highly recommend it.

Happy Pub Day to Bianca Stone’s new collection, The Near and Distant World! @tinhouse.bsky.social
I loved this collection’s questions about the meaning and purpose of both life and art given the state of the world. Some poems express despair, some transcendence, but all are filled with empathy.
I hope you love it!
