Thank you @chestnutreview.bsky.social for publishing my poem "a museum of waxwings." I am told all poets have a poem about birds, and this is mine. It's also a poem for my mother, who has dementia. Working with @michaelimossan.bsky.social on edits was a joy. chestnutreview.com/dilys-wyndha...

Michael Emerald’s “Inertia” meditates on the meaning of stillness. He masterfully captures how it can be just as comforting as it is paralyzing. You can read Emerald’s full piece in our Summer 2025 issue (7:1).
