Happy Lunar New Year. This year we welcome the fire horse. There are apparently pros and cons to this fiery, active combo so the advice is to avoid procrastination and take advantage of any opportunities to move forward.

The horse statue below sits near the entrance of Awata Jinja in Kyoto.

A bronze horse statue with a building and trees in the background and smaller plants around it.

So delighted to announce that today is #PubDay for our book. Every Place on the Map is Disabled is now in stores and available online. Wonderful poets in here including Eli Clare, Ilya Kaminsky, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha and Raymond Antrobus. #disabilitypoetics #poetry #disability #publishing

A woman’s thumb on the cover of a book titled Every Place on the Map is Disabled. Lavender tassel of a book mark hangs above. Two fists push out into a mountainous territory with the sun rising beyond.

A page of poetry. Text reads as follows:

VI.

Rules had the half-life of ripples
so that the encounter of one set with another would hasten the decay as if the pink of the rose were hypercolor and responded to heat in the breath the girl braided her hair into a ring and saved this relic in a wine bottle her mud-encrusted velvet slipper on his desk clock the speed of her river in helicopters a green ribbon attaches the oak to the elm to the birch to the beech across water we will participate in bondings like yeast if letters could form words by mutual attraction god will be there we will play the part
the garden will contain violets and impatiens the lexicon will assign value and importance this key will be called sharp will be called flat use ice to kill the body in sections a cool body against a warm body before there was glass
insert dance in place of narrative
the memory of heat and light in the shell universe and what gives and what pushes and what pushes and gives open open open open open open open enter
a procession of women holding candles up the mountain
without the women without what is called a woman with an absence at the heart of a life with a life that is life on life life life

drive out into the country
until we hit inclines
making our way
to #mountainous horizons

looking out to the world
and knowing it's just the start
