I have 2 poems that I’m VERY excited about out today with this Mother/Service/Voice issue! One is about Joan of Arc and the other various Earth Mothers from around the globe!

Thank you to everyone involved for believing in these 2 poems! And thank you in advance for reading! 🤍

It means the world to me that #InternationalPoetryCircle/@IntPoetryCircle—which I started in an attempt to make us all feel more hopeful & connected during this trying year—has inspired wonderful initiatives like @PoetryQueer & @walk_sound! Here’s to poetry, love, community.💗

I have three new poems in the Nature’s Nature feature in Kenyon Review. Here is one. 🍃

[SeaGoatWhoScreamsPoetry (Ankh Spice) @SeaGoatScreams]

This poem of mine isn't new - it was published last year.
There are many reasons why I'm reposting it today, despite keeping my own voice quiet in this time and place.

To this, I will speak, and I can't say it better than this.

My advice: Share the work you find beautiful and meaningful more often than you announce your rejection of the work you dislike.

Some friends of mine would like to share this with you on #Pride.
It is not for any cis person to question or invalidate the identities of trans and non-binary people. No amount of divisive, othering rhetoric can ever change that, no matter how powerful the voice may seem.

@PaulDragonwolf1 I have one about spiders - where can I send it?

[mads @maddy_woodman]

It's #GlobalPride - one of the best times of year - where people come together and celebrate love. We also need to remember that Pride is still a protest, and we have lots of work to do. I'll keep standing in solidarity because #loveislove and #transrightsarehumanrights 🙌
