I am stealing Elizabeth O'Rourke's gorgeous structure and skillful enjambment in her beautiful poem, "I Have Done Small Things" :: "have closed up/the tear where the down spilled out of my daughter’s winter coat" https://t.co/dD6sj4ZENg @MERliterary

@MERliterary thank you for publishing this. It's deliciously complicated and beautiful. What a satisfying read this morning.

@thebigluborsky @SaraFarag @salthilljournal Oh nice screenshot! Salt Hill presents her work so elegantly too. Really glad I discovered this journal and Sara Elkamel.

"Because I cannot touch you, I smell the insides of my hands. The smell is an egg, just cracked." from Sara Elkamel's gorgeous poem. Oh! The water imagery paired with death, the structure, the slow climb to the last line...@salthilljournal @SaraFarag https://t.co/OEC9JJucBy

I very much enjoyed this review by Mindy Kronenberg of Allison Blevin's "Slowly/Suddenly" and just requested it from my library.

"I’ve eaten your heart.
I’ve eaten myself eating your heart. Don’t worry.
I gather your tears and eat those too." -Blevins

Aubade means a morning love song. I love this skillful enjambment and melodic symphony of words in "Aubade with Hope" by @flourish_joshua https://t.co/NEIKKJs3Tr @PalettePoetry

@CherylEKleinLA @BrownPaperPress thank you! and thank you for writing Crybaby. It has made me feel so much stronger/better/more resilient.

I inhaled Cheryl Klein's suspenseful memoir. As someone navigating both adoption and infertility, it felt like she was writing parts of my own life. Read my review here: https://t.co/lr8HgIZ73s @cherylekleinLA @brownpaperpress

This poem is a beautiful, brutal force. Isha Camara's reading of it is gorgeous: https://t.co/hOYPTk26us @isathepoet @MuzzleMagazine

Just discovered Deborah Landau. “Skeleton” and “Flesh” bruise me, unbalance me, reposition me and scare me. Wow. https://t.co/SkI8QRlRN1 via @NewYorker

This is a personal essay (possibly a lyric essay) I wrote about my dad. So happy to have it published in 805 Lit and Art!

“The cat tails loft upward, moving in the breeze. This is a place of light, where we are made of light, where we float on water. Sun makes our skin taste salty.”

Love this poem by Emma Bolden. It hits me with a brick over the head and then heals me better than before.
