Versus Versus: 100 Poems by Deaf, Disabled & Neurodivergent Poets (ed. @rachaelboast.bsky.social) is a @poetrydayuk.bsky.social Book Group recommendation for #NationalPoetryDay this year.
forwardartsfoundation.org/national-poe...

This National Poetry Day panel shows the cover of Rachael Boast's anthology Versus Versus surrounded by a pink circle and set on a cream background.

The text reads 'Profoud, Urgent, and incredibly timely', and 'A celebration of diversity - from poetic forms to experiences'.

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other – to disturb, even – is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.

As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to – painful as it may be at times – is the freeing agreement to disagree.

Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.

The WGA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Today's the last day to preorder "Hospice" before 9/26 pub date. Preorders are 15% off the list price.

Molly Akin @mollyakin.bsky.social · Jul 23

“In these poems, the reader sojourns across a defamiliarized world, acutely described with a Dickinsonian economy and cataloged, freshly, by Akin’s fine-toothed aesthetic.” Such generous words about "Hospice" from @janehuffman.bsky.social.
