I only manage to stay small by making giants out of strangers
My poems "And a Sleep Full of Sweet Dreams" and "Uncle Sonya" are now available in the latest issue of The Cascadia Subduction Zone. The first came out of Greek myth and insomnia and was written in a doctor's waiting room, the second when ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
shewhomust correctly located Fox's name for me within the canon of mysteriously unwritten Chekhov plays. The remainder of the issue includes poems by Gwynne Garfinkle, Mark Rich, and Sofía Rhei translated by Lawrence Schimel, flash fiction by Nancy Jane Moore, and all manner of essays, reviews, and memorials by the usual suspects. Check it out!
Links of interest to me in the last few days:
1. Rising anti-Semitism in Boston.
2. Louis F. Post vs. the Palmer Raids.
3. A pigeon in a nest of poppies.

If you consider that pigeons are a type of dove, it feels like symbols are coming to life and roaming the Earth.
(Congratulations on the poems! What an excellent-looking issue)

Yes! And a very fine dove it is, too.

Re: your first link: I see it, and am angry, and want to do something useful and I'm not sure what (other than going to solidarity events when they happen).

Being a non-Jewish person who pushes back if you hear things in conversation is useful, even if they seem minor and not necessarily Nazi-like.

What a great thing to have done, what an important thing to remember.

Yes. I knew about the deportation of Emma Goldman, but I didn't know about Louis F. Post. I expect to think of him a lot.

Well, those are certainly two depressing articles to read in a row, for all Post comes in at the end of the second one to save the day (somewhat). But thank you for linking them – I hadn't known about either story. (I mean, I'm aware of growing anti-semitism nationwide, but not the specific Boston fires.) At least there's poppy pigeon!

You're welcome, although I'm sorry about the depressingness. I found the Post story instructive, since I'd known so little of it.
