Do any poets have beef with me?

If so, I would be open to participating in a decades-long rap battle type relationship where we, every so often, publish diss poems about each other for the love of the game.

Sheesh, check out @ChisomOkafor16's poem, "synonyms for tachycardia." Amazing.

"i want to look towards / the rising sun / & say into its face: / your money perish with you / for what is empathy / if not a further annihilation / of an already dead thing."

The writing & art of @thrivingwordss, @cgomeratavarez, @chisomokafor16, @CKCpoetry, @findmycure, @hun_blackwell, Zoë Cain, Limloo DSN, Samiya Asim, & Erin Weeks is a captivating experience that dares to defy genre & form. Issue 10 is live here: https://t.co/eB7LS4gdi7

Much love to all of the poets, writers, & artists of Issue 10: Bedhead. What a triumph. Though mental health is often depicted as one dimensional, you redefine the narrative & capture the depths & highs of our emotions & lived experiences. Link: https://t.co/eB7LS4gdi7

[The Hellebore Press @TheHellebore]

Issue 10: Bedhead is filled with dreamlike melancholy & wonder. Explore mental health, body autonomy, addiction, & neurodiversity with words by @Tanis_MacDonald, @shannonfrostgre
@HLR, @insteadofisaac, @ShikshaWrites, @The_Cline + more.

In case you had a doubt,

You are a writer.
You are an artist.
You are a poet.

Even when you are healing, resting, or simply existing.

Your productivity & pace does not dictate your power.

You have a voice.

When you’re ready, we’re ready too.

@coffeeandpaneer @insteadofisaac @JellyfishReview Fantastic flash fiction. It is quite remarkable.
