not yet as far as publication etc goes but i’ll some back here and let you know when it does! thank you for remembering it and keeping it close to you

it’s amazing how much smaller life has gotten over the last decade. like i am less afraid of life, have better people around me, and have more money than ever, but all of it feels like it’s worth so much less than it would have been in some other version of 2026

almost tweeted this but decided i didn’t want to get yelled at by the most boring people alive so you can have it instead

growing out a sort of “pixie cut of the mind”

feels weird to post here like i’m breaking no contact with a lover i demonized for being “too nice to me”

I have decided that in terms of your current admin, it Does Not Have to be Messier Than That

Thumbsucker, poems by Kat Giordano — Malarkey Release date: April 1, 2024 New poems by Kat Giordano! “Kat Giordano's Thumbsucker is one of those bruised, bloody-knuckled, cut-lipped books that has flung itself into life and all its suffering...

Thumbsucker by @giordkat.bsky.social is 10/10. It is, as Todd Dillard puts it, “one of those bruised, bloody-knuckled, cut-lipped books that has flung itself into life and all its suffering and is here to tell you, dripping in manna and umbra, how it survived.”

I had read and enjoyed @giordkat.bsky.social’s first couple poetry collections, as well as the novel The Fountain, and so was very excited to get to publish Thunbsucker, which I think is Kat’s best book! malarkeybooks.com/store/thumbs...
