I was enchanted and grieving and wondering. I was lost and planted again. Grateful for this work and the challenge of it. Out from Soft Skull press. #poetry #booksky

Winding, sometimes stream of consciousness type poetry. Phrases bump along uneven roads, sputter like a weary engine. Fagin’s poems ask you to trust the process, and know that we are shortcutting our way to an important place. Then, a revelation so bright you have to squint appears. #booksky

Absolutely in love in with new collection, out tomorrow from @tinhouse.bsky.social . Hardly Creatures is a collection that focuses on disability, community, and so much more. The book is modeled to read like a walk through an accessible museum.

In the poem “On Belonging,” Patrycja Humienik asks, “where do we go to find the myths that made us?” A beautiful #poetry collection releasing this week from @tinhouse.bsky.social

Looking for cozy game recommendations for Nintendo switch. Loved Spritifarer and Wylde Flowers. Didn’t quite get into Cozy Grove. #cozygames

This memoir is full of grief, but also with hope. Using an innovate structure, Nguyen tells the dual stories of how her experience of sexual assault led her into activism and the healing of her childhood trauma. #SavingFive #AmandaNguyen #Booksky #memoir

Fundamentally is a book that surprised me. At first, I had a hard time sitting alongside the narrator, Nadia, whose brash and often offensive humor seemed like a defense mechanism that the reader didn’t have insight to. As I got more used to her & her naivety, layers of character were revealed.

This book is holds you in its heartache and examines how folks move through/in/around grief. Grief of losing family members, of having few options, even the grief of surviving.

Printz winner. Wonderful read about a mixed Guatemalan girl who reconnects with her father over a summer of renovation. Important discussion of gentrification and cultural solidarity.

Literary fiction friends, don’t miss out on Call Her Freedom by Tara Dorabji! It holds heartbreak alongside moments of hope and defiance, imbuing a depth & complexity to each character. Tenderness, in spite of personal and global grief, struck me as I read. Thank you @simonandschuster.bsky.social !
