Seeing my nonfiction in print in the @IowaReview - what a feeling. My piece is about amenorrhea and television and menstrual pamphlets from the 1920s. It's personal and researched. It's bloody.
My world feels very tender right now, and I will treasure this.

@chipsrgud_ Right?! It blows my mind that a show about pregnancy IGNORES PERIODS

[Amy V. Blakemore **is on hiatus** @AmyV_Blakemore]

I just sent in paperwork to publish my essay on periods, amenorrhea, why no one bleeds on Gilmore Girls, and menstrual pamphlets from the 1920s, so yes, I'm in a good mood today 😊😊

[Amy V. Blakemore **is on hiatus** @AmyV_Blakemore]

@chipsrgud_ It should be in the next issue of The Iowa Review!! Anxiously awaiting my copy 👀

@thornberryjm @BLReview Thank you so much! This made my morning 🥰 Definitely one of those pieces I had to "get out of me."

[Amy V. Blakemore **is on hiatus** @AmyV_Blakemore]

I am so grateful to have won this contest, especially for a venue like @BLReview that specifically focuses on illness and healing. My eating disorder was never formally diagnosed; it went by many aliases. Being here and being healthy enough to tell that story is an honor.

We are thrilled to announce the 2021 BLR Literary Prize winners! Congratulations all!

a kerfuffle

[Joshua Jones Lofflin @JJLofflin]

What’s the collective noun for a group of writers?

Starting a new short story feels like making new friends and I will never not be emotional about it 🥺🥺

Maybe someday I'll be cool about seeing my work in print...but today is not that day 🌈
I'm so excited that my issue of BLR arrived! I worked on this piece for years and years and it feels magical to finally see it out in the world.
