“Lake Mungo” by Susan Fealy

“The Fountain” by St. John of the Cross, translated by Willis Barnstone

description: Whether river, lake, ocean, or raindrop, every body of water has its own past, present, and future. We’ll give attention to the ways poets interact with water to various senses and sensibilities. We’ll also treat bodies of water as their own text and discuss the poetics in their process

A poem I wrote about state violence last year, ringing in my head again with new names

Pseudo Myth Again, I've confused the horseman for the horse, the artillery of a muscle for a minor hero's sling. What we do in the name of obedience, not thinking wonder has anything to gain over wit. The wheel, at times, will envy the hands that clutch it. The horse, the inoperable reigns. Trust me. I, who have neither head nor heart, whose name is not mine but Girl. What's torn through the center is as good a guide as any.

Sharing the opening poem, “Pseudo Myth” from MORE FLOWERS, out with @triohousepress.org on February 1st, 2026! 🌺

Yea BlueSky finally added it, but for like 4 months MS folks were just…not allowed to be on it lmao. Jim Crow shit

Mississippi passed “age-verification” laws that many websites didn’t want to comply with because it compromises privacy and personal data

Mississippi really banned this app for several months —wild

IF Suppose we are a fragment? A perfect night of immediacy in vital places. Up here I am the disguised flower you are where it came from. To allow the hidden. So slowly. My body. And wouldn’t you begin to make friends with it? I can wait.

The Black Panthers were accurately describing the US as fascist in the 60s. That's how far behind you are if a dictator moving troops in to occupy cities & arresting his opposition & disappearing people is just clicking as fascism for you.
