Excited for the stunning fall 2025 entry in my Feed Dog Book imprint from Anvil Press! Vera Hadzic's full-length poetry debut, Several Small Animals Enclosed in a Benedictine Monastery, is compelling, visceral, often dark, and always magical! @anvilpress.bsky.social @hadzicvera.bsky.social

Ooh thank you! I love this, I hadn't thought about it that way; both human and shark ghosts, maybe! And thanks for reading and sharing!! 😊

Thanks for sharing!!

This is from my poem "Sky Pillars", from back in October! It still feels great to have this poem out in the world through @thesedayszine.bsky.social ☺️☺️

Jerf Blerkman @jeffblackman.bsky.social · Oct 11

"Most people, certainly, don’t believe in the vast spread
of space. Even people who have been to space, surely, do
not believe in space. To them, it’s a long dream, filled
with lucid truths, but so separate from self and wakefulness
that it is obviously fake."

- Vera Hadzic, Sky Pillars

Oh yes, I've definitely experienced that too at times! And sometimes, my classes inspire me to write, but then I can't find the time!

Vera Hadzic @hadzicvera.bsky.social · Feb 21

That's understandable, you must be so busy with a 10-month old!! I'm sure it's a lot of fun though. Writing is a bit slow on my end too because of school right now, but I find time here and there! I'm glad to hear things are great with you overall :)

Hi Derek! Thank you!! I hope everything is going well on your end too, writing-wise and in general; I'm glad to have found you on here! ☺️
