so much is against reading for pleasure, writing for play, looking without agenda, wondering, just wondering. too much keeps us from beauty that is freedom, from mystery that is freedom, from the freeing questions, from the free inner life that is (or should be!) always ours

Two poetry collections that interrogate what we inherit from complicated legacies. Interview between authors @utopiaminus.bsky.social (13 Questions for the Next Economy) and @raquefella.bsky.social (Southwest Reconstruction) for BOMB Magazine: bombmagazine.org/articles/202...

Congratulations to @pdforan.bsky.social on his book publication: Songs From The Blimp Ruins—I’ve been such a big fan of Pat & his words since we connected years ago. His writing is unique & unusual & resonant. The best way I can describe it is emotionally dynamic, & Pat himself, so loving & kind 💛

You don't speak of dreams as unreal. They exist. They leave a mark behind them.

Poem for Women Wednesday ~ Ada Limón HOW TO TRIUMPH LIKE A GIRL —I like the lady horses best, how they make it all look easy,/But mainly, let's be honest, I like that they're ladies. As if this big dangerous animal is also a part of me, / —that thinks, no, it knows, it's going to come in first.
