A Bob Sykora poem opens the door for longing and then leans into love, but my every impulse when I arrive at longing is not to lean into possibility of love but to pull hard on the e-brake and fishtail into how improbable love is.

I tried to write a @bobsykora.bsky.social poem. Is this a Bob Sykora poem? Not really, but I was reading Utopians in Love by Bob Sykora and I said, "I want to write a Bob Sykora poem" and this was the result.

wow I missed so much not logging on here

do i want to be on here more???

from the preposterously great Stay Dead by Natalie Shapero

hi my books has been out for 4 months here’s where you can find a copy

100% of the 4 reviews of my book on storygraph say it’s fast paced so it’s probably an excellent choice for the sealey challenge 💁🏻‍♂️ www.gameoverbooks.com/store/p/utop...

Four poetry titles on sale for $10 each, now through Thursday. If we sell a bunch of copies at $10 we won’t really make much money but a bunch more people will have these books. Good trade off. Malarkeybooks.com/store
