I love this poem in Claire Wahmanholm's new book Meltwater. This is how postpartum depression felt, to me. Isn't it wild what a poem can capture without seeming to even reach. Beautiful work and I can't wait to finish it (which is why I'm reading while brushing my teeth).

@Christopher_All First serial rights mean the author can share a poem *after* it has appeared, right? How is sharing a poem post-pub infringement? Also, it's not giving away a product for free. It's a teaser, bc the product is either an entire issue or a subscription.

LOVED this @oxfordamerican piece by @Dr_JessieW abt growing up in East TN under the thumb of the patriarchy but with Pat Summit out there being & doing. Our feminist icons, here, usually avoid platforming for fear of notoriety (& other reasons). But they do the work without it.

I feel like one of those parents who write fond posts on social media addressed to their infant children who cannot read, when I thank untaggable people. Oh well: thanks Maddie Gallo @susurrusmag for accepting a poem AND complimenting the hell out of it in your acceptance note!

I don't know what I'm gonna be doing there, but I'll be there doing it. Are you a writer I know online and you're gonna be there too? I want to see you there!!

Final 2 poems of mine from new Red Tree Review. Kind of about parenthood. Kind of about anxiety. Kind of about The Peace of Wild Things.

"If we could integrate the periods of interruption, silence, and failure into the narrative of a mother-artist’s life, she suggests, we might be able to see motherhood not as the end of creative life, but as a hero’s quest" 💥 Matrescence 💥

The End of the Art-Baby Problem

In the lives of women from Alice Neel to Ursula Le Guin, motherhood was entwined with a quest to make art.

My local indie bookstore @UnionAveBooks may be small, but it makes space. Today's event with @WillieETCarver & @JWattswriter was moving, warm, unforgettable. So happy I heard from these gifted Appalachians today. Buy their beautiful books ❤️

After a few hours of promoting my book by sending emails and submitting forms that literally just say "HI IT ME, ME ME, ME & ME & ME [u might be interested in] ME ME & ME AS WELL" I am now putting on my nice boots and going to the farmer's market. Goodbye forever

I had what feels like wild beginner's luck with this first book. Reminds me of when ppl have a great sleeper as their first kid (not me, my first kid was worst sleeper ever). Please believe I'm nearly dead of gratitude.
