Teachers 🔄 Researchers 💚 "The role of teachers is, then, shifting from that of disseminators of knowledge to facilitators of knowledge-generation and sense-making... while the role of researchers is moving to include that of community conveners and educators." —Stephanie Leite

The story of Ramón Sampedro influenced the legalization of assisted dying in Spain and elsewhere. But beyond Alejandro Amenábar's film Mar Adentro with Javier Bardem, there's also Sampedro’s own book 'Cartas desde el infierno' Analysis by @pittella.bsky.social 👇 assistedlab.ch/textual/cart...

I'm still moon-high from our reading last night... Thank you so much for all that poetry—& thanks to everyone in the audience who shared the evening with us 💙

“No Excuses” by Rick Kempa is a perfect example of integrity #Poetry Issue 7: #integrity “So why are you here?” I ask. He shrugs. “Just wanted you to know what happened. That’s all.” And he is able to meet me with those eyes. Rick Kempa is a poet and essayist living in Grand Junction, Colorado.

SAVE THE DATE: one week from today... A Winter's Night Chapbook Reading 👉 Sunday, Dec 7, 7pm ET (Zoom) Thrilled to celebrate this season of poetry in fab company💙

We all had teacher like Mrs Nelson. This is a gentle reminder of the life lessons grown into There is a great irony in the title, the wisdom being shared on the one day the poet was absent The line ‘The English lesson was that I am is a complete sentence’ is a poem in itself #poetry #poemoftheday

'Blue Light' by contemporary, Brighton-based, UK painter Emma Brownjohn #WomensArt

#Poets! We’re exactly 18x more dangerous than prosefolk… Somehow I’ve always known that, but now it’s a quantitative fact* *pending peer review 😋 arxiv.org/abs/2511.15304

Agreed. Even tho that “florid verse” subheading is a buzzkill… The journalist wasted a great opportunity to present us as truly fearsome 😎

A fabulous antidote to those ads on Spotify & LinkedIn... Goddess bless satire 🙏

After years subscribing to #Spotify, encountered the ICE ads. (I'm late here, as premium subscribers don't hear ads) The ads made me so sick I cancelled my sub, stating as reason that they obviously violate Spotify's anti-discrimination clause. Moved to Qobuz (same $, better sound).

👉 Save the date, poetry people!

Very excited for this reading in a couple weeks—make a wonder with your friends. ❄️ Celebrate poetry. Have a party for your chapbooks! 📚💙 #booksky #poetry RSVP details in next post.

This is gonna be amazing 🔥

LAST DAY!!! www.glass-poetry.com/submissions....

“I’ve heard it said the only safe terrain is to write about oneself because you’re not encroaching on anyone else’s material experience of trauma. But... I don’t feel like I know where I end and someone else begins. There’s no pure self that is not touched by other people.” ❤️‍🔥 ~Stephanie Bolster

Watching Stephanie Bolster read—live—from her brilliant latest book, Long Exposure... This will make your evening, day, season ❤️‍🔥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmCs...

My chap «propersitions» was reviewed by mRb! «visas, borders, permissions, refusals, evictions, and the empty space left by a chipped tooth. They track how borders attempt to mediate our ability to understand ourselves» Much gratitude to reviewer Paisley Conrad, the mRb team, & Cactus Press 💚

Tell your friends! Or tell that file in your documents, you know the one, the one you never tell anyone about, called X-Files Poems or What Kind of World Will We Leave for Keith Richards: Poems, or Everything Was Great Until I Watched A Quiet Place 2. You know I like the weird manuscripts 😬

Literature—the life of it, especially so close to the ground of it, the living and writing and reading with each other—is community work; we do this together. It’s participatory. It’s gift exchange.
