With the nurse's care
At the rose hospital bed
Falling prism struck
Shattering old, bandaged thoughts
Gay love born from splintered glass

I realise #PridePoetry is over, but you can't give me a prism and expect me to not do gay stuff with it. 😋
I completed #PridePoetry, but I think I'm still mentally stuck writing infomercials.
What did visible allyship during #Pride actually look like in the #IndiePoetry space?
Would love to hear the best examples you've seen from last month: presses, editors, reviewers, whoever.
Let’s lift those who did the work.

If a press claims allyship but disappears during #Pride - what does that say?
Allyship isn’t silence. It’s action.
No queer commissions. No collabs. No visibility. That’s not support.
Show up, or stop calling yourself inclusive.

Communism, sweet darling,
Utopia vibes for all. 🌈

Sorry, this is where my mind went.

Avery's moment
Bright gaze greeting all of us
Simple words she spoke
A voice for many to hear
And push the world to evolve

The heart navigates
Through spectra that ebb and flow
As vagaries teach
That who we are may not be
Inner landscape but the sea

From particle to
The starscape's vast cosmic waves
Their efforts are key
Queer women working in STEM
Transcending all that divides

Through every line
Eir art and writing convey
Vignettes of gender
And life being realised
An enigma no longer

Black and white photo of Amy Lowell in a dark-colored overcoat with delicate bunched/gathered/puff sleeves. She stands with a walking stick or cane in the garden of the Sevenels, the Lowell family home with a slight-closed mouth smile as she looks down at an assortment of large flowers. Lowell stands in the foreground looking down at large poppy flowers, next to an assortment of other tall and short wildflowers. Standing blurred in the background are short, mid-size, and tall, lush bushes and trees with soft rounded circles and triangles.
You are beautiful and faded,
Like an old opera tune
Excerpt from "A Lady" by Amy Lowell
