We return with two new pieces tomorrow, but before then, make time to read The Bulb Region writer Mike Andrelczyk's (@mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social) timely little poem in @rejectionlit.bsky.social. rejection-letters.com/2020/10/29/f...

“I have studied you for 4,747 nights and still I do not really understand you. I can say I adore your brown eyes.” Three delicious poems by Mike Andrelczyk (@mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social) in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/Three-Poems-...

The world is a mess. Buy books.

Take a gamble on Submarines, an episodic novel about a millennial fuckup in a deadend job who bets on baseball and doesn’t ever know what he’s doing. If you know @mikeandrelczyk.bsky.social you probably don’t need much convincing but trust me it’s good! malarkeybooks.com/store/submar...

Merry Christmas!
