Reading is remembrance. When we turn pages, we honor voices of the past and keep their vision alive.

In a world that moves quickly, stories ground us, reminding us of what it means to be human.

Our #matriarch and #maven #ninasimone teaches us that as much as we make art, art makes us. And the artist is creating within the context of their times and their spaces. This is why the #goodmedicine is in hearing #diverse #voices throughout all forms. Especially #literature

Today we honor women’s voices—past, present, and rising.

At Good Medicine Press, we believe that when women speak, the world heals.
Especially voices from the margins.
Especially when they’ve been told to stay quiet.

We publish them. We protect them. We pass them on.

🎉 Huge congratulations to Percival Everett on winning the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for his brilliant novel James! 📚

With this bold reimagining of Huckleberry Finn from Jim’s perspective, Everett once again proves why he’s one of the most original voices in American literature. #goodmedicine

We can't get enough of Helena Bonham Carter reading poetry. Here she reads the good medicine of Derek Walcott, who reminds in Love After Love, that the most important relationship is our connection with self.

We see it everywhere we look. The old top-down leadership is outdated and alienating. A Centered Leadership is called for: collaborative and communal. The way the matriarchs would have it.

Susan Sontag on the power of fiction. As age tries to harden our sensibilities, fiction disrupts that.

A great novel doesn’t just entertain—it pries you open. It teaches you how to care again.

From the goddess Ada Limón, a musing on our mythological matriarch, Eve.

This plays at Eve being a definer and being defined. Perhaps if she had been named by the birds, it would have more truly manifest her divinity.
