so lucky to be read so carefully and beautifully by Keegan 💗💗
Coming out of very fun conversation on Saturday and I would like to announce that it is wonderful to read and think about Stitch, Unstitch by @kristingrogan.bsky.social, which helps us shape the modernist canon in relation to how poets engage everyday, ordinary labor.

Keegan’s book is just so, so good - on how poetry expresses, refracts, and critiques state-managed capitalism, and how it does this by developing interdisciplinary public forms. I’ve been reading this book all week and cannot wait to talk with Keegan and Chris later today!
