Ughhhhh 😭 As a Canadian editor, every time I have to edit something American I am confused and a little frightened, but I do it (without doing this). Wish our stuff wasn't always getting so aggressively "localized"

The Trees and the Frogs and the Sun on the Water by M. R. Robinson After nine years married to a poet—ten come midsummer—Rosemarie can translate every noise. The sound of poetry being born makes her feel warm, like a crackling fire on a winter night.

I've got a new story online now at @talesfeathers.bsky.social! After a couple of bleak and gruesome publications in a row from me, this one is the opposite, probably the sweetest thing I will ever write: a tender little sapphic love story set in a world where poetry is (literally) magic 🌳 🐸 ☀️ 🌊

Hey that's my face! I'm in this!!

Well, uh, this would be a great day to sell about 35 issues. 🫠
