This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Can you document trauma without exploiting it? @utopiaminus.bsky.social warns that the “representation of violence can produce its own kind of violence.” In @philipmetres.bsky.social’s DISPATCHES, poets debate what documentary poetry can and can’t do for justice – and whether writing is enough.

So @eldiagram.bsky.social made broadsides for @richard-siken.bsky.social, @mathiassvalina.bsky.social, @joshriedel.bsky.social, and Thomas Dai for their recent @uapoetrycenter.bsky.social readings. We have some left; if you want to buy em here you go: thediagram.com/merch/produc...

-From Susan Briante's (@utopiaminus.bsky.social) 13 Questions for the Next Economy Out October 14th!

On @literaryhub.bsky.social, Christopher Spaide reflects on the words of his teacher Helen Vendler, whose final essays appear in a new LOA volume. The goal, he writes, is not to look for the easy-to-grasp features of a poem, but “to strive to inhabit every poem in all its standoffish singularity.”

Thanks to Chris Spaide and @literaryhub.bsky.social for featuring the upcoming collection 13 Questions for the Next Economy by @utopiaminus.bsky.social in Seven Poetry Collections to Read This October! Read the full article here: lithub.com/inhabiting-t...

Might save a life.

If anyone is documenting the pages going missing, I have a small database. I will not be taking it on long-term but am using it right now and am willing to hand it off to a relevant group. Pages as simple as Women in the Federal Workforce have gone missing.

We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️My dad was an Airman and I'll be damned if they erase him and his fellows.

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to block the president’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. An executive order does not have the power to override the Constitution.

..."poetry or documentary art can be useful in contesting and contextualizing, in showing us that present injustices and violences are connected to our histories and systems," Susan Briante. A reading & conversation with @faridmatuk.bsky.social and @utopiaminus.bsky.social.

Hoy, un poema de Susan Briante, @utopiaminus.bsky.social

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Noemi Press is hyped to publish Juan Felipe Herrera’s new collection, THE COSMIC FLOW. I say this w/o hyperbole, this is unlike any book he has ever made. Following the pandemic shutdown, he began a daily practice of artpoem mandalas. He did this for years. This is part of the outcome.
