Poets and Poems: Wendy Wisner and “The New Life” - Tweetspeak Poetry In "The New Life: Poems," Wendy Wisner describes just how much death, including a child's death, is a part of life.

Super grateful for this heartfelt and thoughtful review of The New Life on Tweetspeak Poetry @tspoetry.bsky.social

“In The New Life, Wisner reminds us to remember that death is part of life. It doesn’t cancel life in our minds, but it makes life more vivid and urgent.” — Glynn Young

Loved this book!💕

memories stir empty swings—
hands hold a ghost’s ring

Cherry Season | Natalie Pascale Boisseau (French: [klafuti]; Occitan: clafotís [klafuˈtis] ) My love, when I look at the deep red cherries in the white bowl before me, the color of a sunburst heart, I become a citizen of the present …

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

A Lighthouse for Dark Times This is the elemental speaking: It is during phase transition — when the temperature and pressure of a system go beyond what the system can withstand and matter changes from one state to anot…

“Ancient Athens made a mess — but the Antigone stands up. Renaissance Rome made a mess — but the ceiling of the Sistine got painted. Art… is the one orderly product which our muddling race has produced. It is the cry of a thousand sentinels…” EM Forster www.themarginalian.org/2024/11/06/t...

Also great fun spotting my books “in the wild” at the fair.
