I had the joy of speaking with Valencia Robin on her newest poetry collection, LOST CITIES, for @chicagorevbooks.bsky.social Check out the brilliant insight below. Thanks to Gabriel Fried for putting us in contact.

There's a poem from Lo-Fi Citadels out in this super cool anthology from ONE ART. The whole thing is up at their site.

27 years ago, two years after the introduction of effective HIV treatment, the Bay Area Reporter, San Francisco’s lesbian and gay community newspaper, ran ‘No Obits’ as its headline. It was the first edition not to report an AIDS death in almost 15 years.

And Just Like That.... ends tonight. But Sex Change & the City is forever! Preorder now from our trans small press — I wrote a whole press release and then realized I'm not sure if anyone writes about books or gay anymore. So, back to Plan A (posting). girldadpress.bigcartel.com/product/sex-...

Slightly diminish a band: The Twoders

There are two poems from Lo-Fi Citadels in the recent Sixth Finch. Here's one called "You Were Already Good."

I would amend to say that they tolerate embodiment in theory, but only a very specific, mechanized sort of embodiment that is devoid of fat or curves and treated robotically (think Thiel getting youth blood infusions like he's getting his oil changed). They want an embodiment that escapes flesh

made these in fall 2024 and was interested to see where they got taken down and where they stayed up. we really can make space for one another -- for more thinking and more being

Ed tech has been snake oil from the start, designed to dilute expertise, cheapen relations between teacher and student, and line the pockets of people who have absolutely no interest in—and no useful contributions to offer to—education.

My second book of poems, LO-FI CITADELS, has been accepted at Wayne State University Press and will be published in 2026. Very grateful and excited to share with you. Here's a poem from the book, "Bus Stop Promenade," originally published a while back in @kenyonreview.bsky.social

My problem was he changed the TOS. So instead of the one-time payment I made for the powers, it switched to a monthly subscription service. I dropped the powers and got other ones.

“Years later, I spend a summer / patrolling a different pool’s edge. I lose / count of how many sons are held / by their fathers;”   — Tariq Luthun . . . This poem appeared in How the Water Holds Me by Tariq Luthun, published by Bull City Press, 2020. Shared here with deep gratitude.

critics stop treating genre lit as if it’s worth less than literary fiction challenge

One way to understand your own condition is to write something and spend a long time revising it. In revising you teach yourself. You find your own information buried in your body. It is still alive until you are not. —Fanny Howe, RIP

This isn't about education. It's about selling us things we don't want or need.

Howe's description of her process: "I would scrawl [fragments] all over the place as fast as I could, by hand. and then come back to the fragments and try to organize them as if they were spoke or a letter to someone and I knew what I was saying" (NIGHT PHILOSOPHY, p. 24). That's one way to do it!

Absolutely WILD to see my name on the cover of APR w these legends. You can read my shortest poem ever (the poem is a true story) at the link, and 4 other new ones in the mag aprweb.org/poems/fruit-...

protect trans kids! dragon stomp anyone who says otherwise!

i can only repeat this so many times but similar to abortion the government cannot end gender transition medicine (for youth or otherwise), it can only increase the danger and precarity of the lives of those who access it. essentially no mainstream media recognizes this correct framing

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth just said on Colbert, "We should all live long enough to develop a disability," & the audience laughed uncomfortably. I can tell you what they were thinking. It was "Not me. That would never happen to me." & the underlying, unacknowlged premise was "b/c I'm better than that."

literally who the fuck cares if autistic people never write poems or play baseball or whatever the fuck. you don’t get to do eugenics because you can’t understand that disabled people are fucking people with lives of their own that are worthwhile even if they don’t meet your arbitrary criteria
