SC25 - Day Twenty-Six (Wesleyan University Press)

this is just ridiculously good poetry 🤩

By which I mean, I am tremendously grateful that these poems are in the world. I was going to say, I wish I’d written them, but that’s not true, because who then would write my poems?

August 26th - Book Twenty-Six (Wesleyan University Press)

Just a note that the W.U.P. webpage seems broken, largely useless, and has at least one egregious misspelling. Not a good look. Then again, who looks?

EDIT: Apparently I was looking in the wrong place (via Google), at the Wesleyan University website. But there’s also weslpress.org, much better-looking. They should maybe drop a link to get there from the W.U. site….

The book is DEED, by torrin a. greathouse. I listened to an episode of the podcast VS wherein torrin talked about her poetry process, and it made me feel like…well, let’s just say she earns every last gram of delight, power, and meaning her poems carry. She puts in work.

Another fantastic cover! Delightfully dark.
