@norabird Do! I would love nothing more than a chain of mirror poems!

[Jael Montellano @gathcreator]

Literary crush means when I read @aliner’s “My Father Explains Why They Left Me Behind When Defecting” last year I had to try its form out for myself! The results are my poem “My mother dreams of whiteness” which pubs today at @PsalteryLyre: https://t.co/h8BTh4G7Hg

[Jael Montellano @gathcreator]

@aliner The lies you tell! But I’ll take that delight ☺️

[Jael Montellano @gathcreator]

Thanks where thanks are due—thank you to Executive Editor @eaholla, the entire @PoetLoreMag editorial team, and my friend, teacher and first reader extraordinaire JSA Lowe!

[Jael Montellano @gathcreator]

Truly this collection is lush for study, a prismic array of the sacred and profane. I’ve long fan-girled over @aliner, so it was a dream to read and a dream to chat!

Now for cloudscapes ☁️
