Book cover for All the Lands We Inherit by Darby Price (Black Lawrence Press): A searing, heartbreaking, and formally inventive debut memoir about family, legacy, and identity. The story centers around the increasingly tense relationship between the author and her mother, a deeply religious woman who has become self-isolated and recalcitrant amidst her many crises: failing health, financial woes, and the accumulated effects of long-untreated traumas. https://blacklawrencepress.com/books/all-the-lands-we-inherit/

Book cover for Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery by Vera Hadzic (Anvil Press): In this debut collection, Ontario poet Vera Hadzic explores themes of anxiety, eating, excretion, compulsion, and change. Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery follows the construction and deconstruction of the body, both human and animal. https://www.anvilpress.com/books/several-small-animals-enclosed-in-a-benedictine-monastery

Very happy to have had these two poems posted here last month; thanks again @robmclennan.bsky.social!!

I'm still super happy to have two stories in here published a while back in November! Thanks again @amandaearl.bsky.social!!

Thanks for sharing!!

This is from my poem "Sky Pillars", from back in October! It still feels great to have this poem out in the world through @thesedayszine.bsky.social ☺️☺️

I only just saw these posts and wanted to say how much I really appreciate hearing this--thank you, Jeff!!

Thank you so much!!

Oh yes, I've definitely experienced that too at times! And sometimes, my classes inspire me to write, but then I can't find the time!

That's understandable, you must be so busy with a 10-month old!! I'm sure it's a lot of fun though. Writing is a bit slow on my end too because of school right now, but I find time here and there! I'm glad to hear things are great with you overall :)

Hi Derek! Thank you!! I hope everything is going well on your end too, writing-wise and in general; I'm glad to have found you on here! ☺️
