SPOTLIGHT ON...Kyla Houbolt, aka @luaz.bsky.social : samanthaterrell.weebly.com/shine-poetry... #shinepoetry #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #internationalcommunity

This is true — one of the reasons we got back in gear was to get Kyla’s work into readers’ hands in a staple-free form. (We love staples! But it’s hard to find chapbooks on bookshelves.)

#PoetryAppreciation And, going back to CCCP Chapbooks and Jordan Davis, who published The Ghost of It, a chapbook mostly gathered from a two year spell of travels around the Western US. This one is also still available: cccpchapbooks.bigcartel.com/product/the-... I am very fond of the cover,

a couple hundred poems to Jordan, which he sifted through (he reads fast, y'all!) and between us we agreed on the final group. This was the first of a series of chapbooks by CCCP Chapbooks, and still available: cccpchapbooks.bigcartel.com/product/tune... Really glad Jordan took a risk on my work!

#PoetryAppreciation My second chapbook, Tuned, was published by @jordandavis.bsky.social at CCCP Chapbooks of @subpresspoetry.bsky.social. It was put together under difficult conditions, during the pandemic lockdown. The process of creating the manuscript involved my sending probably

#Poetryhelps So happy to share that my publisher, @subpresspoetry.bsky.social has a new website! www.subpresscollective.com Along with (ahem) Becoming Altar, I can recommend Spider Drop and Walking Among Them.

I recommend this book highly, for what it's worth. If you go looking, you'll find my review of it.

This poem does some of my favorite things that Kyla does with words

Or, alternatively, you could bypass all that and just order from asterismbooks.com/product/beco... 🙏 🎶 🔥

Saddle stapler getting a workout!

There's nothing wrong with "late" Christmas gifts. As a matter of fact, in some traditions, gift giving happens on Epiphany, January 6. In my family, we know that "I.O.U." notes are just fine, on the Big Day. So, go ahead and get a copy or two of Becoming Altar! See alt for link! 🎄 📚 🎶 ❤️

It arrived! @luaz.bsky.social

I can't resist reposting this really excellent endorsement from one of my very favorite venues. Thank you, Lee!

I've been an avid admirer of @luaz.bsky.social's work for a long time and had the privileged of publishing more than one of her poems in Stone Circle. Her recently released new and selected poems has only increased that admiration. Very much worth reading.

Happy publication day to @luaz.bsky.social’s Becoming Altar: New and Selected Poems! asterismbooks.com

#Poetry #booksky My lovely publisher made these postcards to help promote my book. If you had one, you could get your library to order a copy! Plus they make nifty bookmarks. If you'd like one, or a couple to share, DM me your mailing address and I'll send you a Happy Holiday card! (US only.) 📚 ❤️‍🔥 📬

This collection has magic, humor, spirit, lyricism, resistance, delight, and lots of animals. Thought-provoking and kind, *Becoming Altar* makes a great gift for yourself or any reader. What I want for Christmas is for *Becoming Altar* to sell out! ❤️ 🎄 📘 💖 asterismbooks.com/product/beco...

This book! This one

Sunflower yellow, sky-blue... my warm thanks to you, Jordan-publisher, Kyla-poet ! @jordandavis.bsky.social @luaz.bsky.social

#Poetry -- Owl Here's a seasonal-appropriate poem, first published in Claw and Blossom, and now in *Becoming Altar*, and no, I was not thinking of One Art when I wrote it, though obv. I must have read the thing:

The problem with posting a poem from an eclectic collection is that you can't really find one that's representative. You can only hope to entertain. asterismbooks.com/product/beco...

#Poetry I generally don't like to buy a book of poems without seeing a little example, so here is a breakfast-appropriate selection from Becoming Altar: The Devilry of Eggs.

One thing about Kyla is that there's only one Kyla. She's not polishing the same gems everybody else is polishing. Another thing about Kyla is that reading her poems improves your own poetry. "Oh, that's how to be yourself!" Another thing about Kyla is she has a book for sale!

Preorder now: the first full collection from Kyla Houbolt asterismbooks.com/product/beco...

I kind of love this

So look who decided to show up a day earlier than the tracking said.

Hurry up and get your preorders in now — the first copies are landing soon!!!

The new book by @luaz.bsky.social is almost here

Come over here a minute. Meet your frog. It will make you feel so much better. 💚

How about another frog poem by @luaz.bsky.social

🙏 #Poetry -- This poem is also collected in *Becoming Altar*, soon to release from @subpresspoetry.bsky.social. Thanks for sharing it!
