Book cover for Issues With Authority by Nadia Bulkin (Ghoulish Books): Shirley Jackson Award-Nominated author Nadia Bulkin’s sophomore collection Issues With Authority drenches the reader in a sensory overload of power, belief, and horrifying transformation. https://ghoulish.rip/product/issues-with-authority/

Book cover for The Hungering Years by Summer Farah (Host Publications): Utterly magnetic, Summer Farah’s debut poetry collection The Hungering Years is a rush of breathless song, voicing confessions so often left unsung amidst personal and collective crisis. “I am afraid of asking the right questions,” Farah admits. But through intimate conversations with fellow Arab-American writer and literary ancestor Etel Adnan, this work finds the courage to ask: What is art? An escape? A reflection? Another unhealthy attachment? Though the answers are elusive, what steps into the light is a collective of friends whose genuine care and companionship anchor these poems through their spiraling search. https://hostpublications.com/products/the-hungering-years-by-summer-farah

I had the pleasure of attending Summer’s book launch for this collection & got to hear Summer read several poems. The Hungering Years might be the best poetry release of the year so far, and I’m glad to see this work highlighted by @therumpus.net

Omg thank you 🥹❤️

“...Summer Farah is a writer whose appetite knows no bounds.”

This is the first long form review I’ve written! I’ve always been intimidated by criticism and doubted that I had anything valuable to say, but my adoration of Summer’s work as a poet & a critic, and a class on review-writing I took with @asaldrake.bsky.social, helped me take the leap!

*bob odenkirk in little women voice* My prophetic women<3

Adnan is not the only figure who plays a major role in Farah’s book and her poetics. “I have loved so many prophetic women,” Farah writes, and these women can be found in every corner of the landscape that Farah creates through her poems: Mary Oliver, Mitski, Carly Rae Jepsen, Olivia Rodrigo, her beloved friends. In Farah’s poetic world, a prophetic woman is one who expands, through their art or their living, what is possible, one who “dream[s] any tomorrow that could mundanely be.” In “(DEAR ETEL ADNAN) I DON’T THINK OF CARLY RAE JEPSEN,” Farah describes listening to Jepsen’s music while reading Adnan’s work, writing, “The beauty of this experiment is that I will connect even the furthest of dots.” Farah does not attempt to justify these connections to skeptical readers who might be eager to discount the merit or seriousness of her subjects; she places those she loves together in conversation freely and with delight. The earnestness of Farah’s devotion is admirable and even enviable in a cultural moment so steeped in cynicism and fearful of cringe. Farah loves what she loves wholeheartedly, in a way that inspires me to be more unabashed about my own obsessions. Her poems remind us that devotion, like hope (to adapt the words of Mariame Kaba), is a discipline: an essential practice against apathy and nihilism. “What can you do for the art you love in return? How can I honor you? How can I honor you?” asks Farah of Adnan, her adoration of Adnan urging her to better herself, to live more closely in alignment with the politics and poetics that Adnan espouses.

grateful for the connections ally builds through my words, what a gift!

BEST BOOK EVER CAME INNNN

Since July, more than a dozen pregnant children have been moved to a single facility in the small town of San Benito, along the south Texas border. The children kept in Texas are as young as 13, and about half are pregnant because of rape, according to a joint investigation by the Texas Newsroom and the California Newsroom. In Texas, abortion is banned in nearly all circumstances, including rape and incest.

the phrase “more than a dozen pregnant children” ringing in my ears www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
