I thoroughly enjoyed reading Beth Konkoski’s insightful short story collection, A DRAWN & PAPERED HEART.

Loralee Clark’s poetry collection, SOLEMNITY RITES, is an eloquent exploration of sacred practices that have held cultures together from ancient times to the present. In our current season of social fragmentation, SOLEMNITY RITES is a poignant reminder that connection is essential.

Abundant in verve and compassion, Julene Tripp Weaver’s SLOW NOW WITH CLEAR SKIES is a wonderful collection of poems. @trippweavpoet.bsky.social

"He points to the deviant course my bones have taken."

I’m honored to have a poem in this issue of The Broadkill Review. @thebroadkillreview.bsky.social

Thank you for including my poem in this issue.

I’m delighted to have a poem in this issue of Cool Beans Lit Magazine. @coolbeanslit.bsky.social

I’m honored to have a poem in this anthology.

I’m grateful to The Mid-American Review for publishing this poem.

I’m so happy to be a participant in this reading.

This is worth a read. Even as a secular person, it's easy to get lost in the pageantry. Ritual is something most churches do to awe-inspiring effect. Enough to forget the blatant misogyny? Let's not. Let's name it. @sorayachemaly.bsky.social sorayachemaly.substack.com/p/no-cookies...

At a time when practically everything seems unstable, Gemma Hartley’s book, FED UP: EMOTIONAL LABOR, WOMEN, AND THE WAY FORWARD, provides guidance for living a more balanced life. Unpaid work, which often goes unnoticed, is a topic that receives far too little attention.

This is one of my favorite books ever. I have lost track of the number of times I have read THE EVOLUTION OF BIRDS by Sara Hills. @sarahillswrites.bsky.social

Patricia Q. Bidar’s novelette, WILD PLUMS, is a marvelous read. @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social

The waning days of 2024 seem like the perfect time to reread Kate Manne’s insightful book, DOWN GIRL: THE LOGIC OF MISOGYNY. @katemanne.bsky.social

i had 4 poems published at The Word’s Faire this week: www.thewordsfaire.com/words/accele... 💚💚💚

Blue sky, white clouds float over an Amsterdam street, slick with autumn rain.

Many thanks to THE BOOKENDS REVIEW for publishing my poem, “Cinders.” Written from the perspective of a character named Joy, “Cinders” is from my work in progress. All the best to everyone who, like Joy, resists patriarchy. thebookendsreview.com/2024/06/10/c...

An American in Denmark participates in a study designed to help him retrieve his earliest memories with the intention of discovering the genesis of his Tourette syndrome in K.E. Semmel’s heartbreaking, humorous, and hopeful novel. THE BOOK OF LOSMAN is a wonderful read. @kesemmel.bsky.social

Happy to have three new poems, “Horse School,” “Heart Study,” and “The Secrets of Water and Air,” published by The Word’s Faire, an independent press based in Dayton, Ohio. www.thewordsfaire.com/words/z4cvpk...

I just finished reading Mike Hixenbaugh’s book, THEY CAME FOR THE SCHOOLS. I recommend it to anyone who is concerned about what is happening with America’s public schools. @mikehixenbaugh.bsky.social

The personal is the political in Leslie Pietrzyk’s collection of DC-based stories. I really enjoyed reading ADMIT THIS TO NO ONE. @lesliepwriter.bsky.social

I got such a nice note yesterday from the editor of Black Lawrence Press letting me know that my short story collection has been selected as a semi-finalist for the 2024 Hudson Prize. blacklawrencepress.com/the-2024-hud...

John Copenhaver’s historical mystery, THE SAVAGE KIND, is a marvelous read. I can’t wait to see what Judy and Philippa get up to in the sequel, HALL OF MIRRORS. @johncopenhaver.bsky.social

To introduce myself on Blue Sky, I thought I'd share a piece of flash fiction I was honored to have published this past June on Sad Girl Diaries.

If you get a chance, go see ORIGIN, the film based on Isabel Wilkerson’s wonderful book, CASTE.

"I wanted to walk up to her and say something, but I didn’t know what." Out of Season by Abbie Barker #shortstory #fiction fictivedream.com/2024/01/05/o...

In the new year, I hope to find a book I love as much as I love Sarah Freligh’s A BRIEF NATURAL HISTORY OF WOMEN. @sfreligh.bsky.social

Hi, I’m new here. Looking for other writers to follow.
