@margaretjuhae @swamp_pink Thank you Margaret ❤️❤️

[Alyse Burnside @comicsanstorm]

I have an essay in the latest issue of @swamp_pink, perhaps the most personal essay I’ve published. It’s about my childhood horse Shirley, who taught me all I know about love and losing love. It’s about growing up gay in Iowa, horsegirls and straight girls, and me.

“A barn at daybreak is eerily quiet, a shallow rustling of limbs, hooves against the lime foundation, birds fucking in the rafters, slow knickers, horses gently grinding their teeth...” Read Alyse Burnside’s (@comicsanstorm) story “Horse Loose” today at https://t.co/EmitulQRtb

This week's post of ALL MY DEAD PITCHES is dedicated to David Wojnarowicz, on what would've been his birthday weekend.

@bogusnic and I have a Substack of some of our favorite failed pitches. This pitch is dear to my heart. Its about David Wojnarowicz’s first love, long-distance relationships, and artistic anguish, among other things.

“Most people leaving the auction with new horses wore an air of something like excitement, but without obvious joy.”

“Cattle graze in unpeopled fields, and in one, three Staffordshire Draft horses stood obediently, harnessed to a plow, as though posing for a painting.”

I had the honor of reviewing SLEEPLESS for @thenation. A beautiful book about insomnia, hyper vigilance , and the ephemera of sleep. Thanks @krevinlorenzo for editing. 💤

[The Nation @thenation]

A French writer's memoir of her insomnia tries to understand how central sleep is to cultural and intellectual history.
