I was new to editing when @marthasilano.bsky.social's poem "Ode to Frida Kahlo’s Eyebrows" appeared in @northamerreview.bsky.social James Hearst Prize. The contest is anonymous, but as soon as I read it, I couldn't stop thinking about it. Listen to Martha read it

Rain, New Year's Eve By Maggie Smith The rain is a broken piano, playing the same note over and over. My five-year-old said that. Already she knows loving the world means loving the wobbles you can't shim, the creaks you can't oil silent—the jerry-rigged parts, MacGyvered with twine and chewing gum. Let me love the cold rain's plinking. Let me love the world the way I love my young son, not only when he cups my face in his sticky hands, but when, roughhousing, he accidentally splits my lip. Let me love the world like a mother. Let me be tender when it lets me down. Let me listen to the rain's one note and hear a beginner's song.

It’s NYE & raining here. I wrote this poem in 2013, so the five-year-old is now sixteen.

Even when it’s hard to love the world unconditionally, and it’s never not hard, here’s to imagining what might be possible and what we can make so.

Love from here on a rainy Tuesday.

Remembering the actors, musicians, writers and artists we lost in 2024 Every year, we remember some of the writers, actors, musicians, filmmakers and performers who died over the past year, and whose lifetime of creative work helped shape our world.
