Bookish mail today from @booksbycindy.bsky.social and @marielaurecouet.bsky.social for their upcoming BUTTERFLY SEA, about a child and her disruptive-yet-lovable sibling and their search for butterflies to photograph. Along the way they discover how to help butterflies thrive in the garden.

Happy #poetryfriday!

Poem as I'm Falling Asleep

feet. socks now.
today. email,
think a thing not to
forget. remember--"e."
send it right away.
tomorrow, when
it's raining now.
something from before

a shadow there, heavy
a warming, there

YES TELL THEM!! It's absolutely THE BEST.
Holy crow, I got an actual card in the mail from someone thanking me for writing my poetry collection. Friend of a friend of a relative or something like that. Nobody can't tell me NOTHING for the rest of today. Amazing.

Tell writers when you like their stuff. Man, what a feeling.

If you're looking for a Thanksgiving contentment/gratitude book that isn't overtly Thanksgiving, consider ENOUGH IS... Available at libraries and bookstores everywhere.

Illustrated beautifully by Nicole Wong, published by Tilbury House. @painternik.bsky.social @esckeyes.bsky.social

It would not be just me, but other poets I have in mind to ask if they'd like to host something like this...
Dare I ask such a question in yet another lonely place, BUT...

If I hosted a zoom poetry reading (theme TBD-- I have ideas) might that possibly interest you? Not a commitment!
