And hoping that they'll thrive around the madness
Rabbit, rabbit! I had my fingers crossed for a commemorative blizzard, but instead it rained and then, which is cheating, turned cold.
The mail brought my contributor's copy of Not One of Us #70, leading off with my poem "The Poet." It contains a garret and an allusion to Menotti. The rest of this issue on the unheimlich theme of the domestic features stories and poems from Alexandra Seidel, Steve Toase, Patrick Doerksen, Gwynne Garfinkle, Lorraine Schein, and more. The photographic covers by John Stanton are always apt, but I am especially fond of these crumbling stairs.
At the end of this very long week, I spent most of today lying on a couch, which I do not regret. Have some links.
1. The title of this issue comes from a spell: "The endless and innocent birdsong of sky is for you: the newest Ukrainian war poems."
2. On not perpetuating the erasure of Indigenous women: "Interior is pushing states to replace derogatory place names with colonial ones."

kathmandu: "The 1969 Easter Mass Incident." I kind of hope someone has made an "Alice's Restaurant"-style seasonal recording.
As I track the progress of my poetry across Tumblr in my intermittent and haphazard way, I may have discovered my new favorite tag.

May it arrive soon! I suspect I benefit from living fewer zipcodes over.

This is utterly magnificent.

I read it aloud to my mother. It was very difficult at certain points to keep breathing.

". . . and now there's some sort of underfed translucently pale man in ill-fitting Roman armor and cape flying at a horrifying glutinous effigy of your lord and savior, with an actual fucking spear, screaming like a madman . . ."

I love Tumblr’s relationship with your poetry so much.

I continue not to expect it, but I believe it means the poetry is doing what it's supposed to do.
(. . . that is, apparently, wrecking people.)

Enjoy!

I told you already how Maine had already dealt with this problem, right? By seemingly doing a "Replace all" on a list of names? And that, in consequence, we now have Moose Bosom Mountain?
I am glad that you spent the weekend doing good things.

No, you did not tell me! I would have remembered Moose Bosom Mountain!
I am glad that you spent the weekend doing good things.
Thank you.
