M. Cynthia Cheung ♥️ from COMMON DISASTER (Acre Books) I absolutely love this poem! @acrebooks.bsky.social

“No sibling, no mother. Her / paws were dry magic beads. I touched them.” bewitched by this poem. Feral, @jessicacuello.bsky.social

I’ve started reading @susanlleary.bsky.social's Dressing the Bear, and it’s nothing short of miraculous. “Have we not all been crushed by what shelters us? By a sun hauled from the sky & collapsed into rubies, my brother carrying the wreck of it in his hands.”

@susanlleary.bsky.social Thank you kindly!
