Overwhelmed to see this breathless story I wrote in the world, but the real honor is to be beside some of my all-time favorite and most influential Alaskan writers, especially @ehhayes @naviyuk & Abigail Chabitnoy, writers who have shaped my own sense of place, who I write to 😭

Our twelfth issue, Alaska, is now live.

It’s eclipse szn so I redownloaded this stupid app & I’m here for the tea, drama, and pettiness

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

wheeee I love this trend

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

@libbybakalar As far as I know it’s just a species of kelp. We grew up with it on the beaches of Kachemak Bay (no red tide)

[aurielle is off this app. @YesAurielle]

We expect Black poets to write Blackness. We expect Palestinian poets to write themselves. Yet, white men in academia call this “identity poetry”.

What is whiteness but an identity project created to justify brutality against other identities? And what does that make your poems?

@jasminekhaliq_ Miss you every day, truly 🥲

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

After #AWP2023 and spending so many hours with sweet brilliant generous writers I am reminded that you can indeed just quietly and intently do the work without self promoting hustle. You can rest and fill your days with other passions and people and still be a wild quiet success.

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

Anyway, my friends are all fucking brilliant and literally doing ground breaking experimental exciting radical work! And I am so sad to be back without them in this city! ‘The price you pay for the richness of knowing and loving people in more than one place.’

@TheOceanIsGay Unless????! Dog not required of course just extra motivation

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

@TheOceanIsGay Okay this is an annoying answer full disclosure but forcing myself to walk my dog even for 10-20 minutes each morning. Ten min in fresh air and whatever daylight we’ve got is… a game changer. I just roll out in sweatpants and with whatever warm beverage helps, it’s glorious??

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

@nlcoomes Nina YES

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

@etran3 I still think of our ‘Lorelei is clearly an Aquarius’ discussion. It’s so obvious as I rewatch

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

All I’m saying is that you’re either in the Leo-Gemini-Aries-Libra ring of absolutely chaotic friendship love energy where we just hype each other up 24/7 to a level of absurdity that could burn down a building or you’re not

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]

@nlcoomes You could teach remotely at @HugoHouse !

[Piper Lane @thealaskanwitch]
