“I try not to think about the numerical side
of forecasts, carelessly wise like a fish

caught then tossed back to sea.
What days we took out, meaning

life a rare tome lent
then due too soon…”

Looks like they may need to renew their domain...

Just remembered a linguistics paper I wrote ("Oh Sandy, *Sandry, *Sanny, Why-Yi-Yi-Yi: Exploring the Hypocoristic Diminutive Suffix -y under Optimality Theory") and yes, the first bit's a lyric from Grease... Thanks for memories old and new @cv2magazine.bsky.social ✌🏽😅 #2DayPoem2025 #hypocorism

Thank you, Jessica! That means everything.

A very good, National Poetry Month problem to have: missing two events yesterday in favour of a third

2. "Oberwolfach, a Love Poem" by @mietzsche.bsky.social. Big fan of this: "Behind and around you, / husband—I want to be the negative space / that a careful hand would trace to make you / visible."

1. "Letter to the Inside-Bird" by @sallypoet.bsky.social. Love its lush topography: the "sleepless inscape of feathers and ink" & "dark lake east in me" & "parched nest in the eaves" & & & & &

There's a wealth of poetry from far too talented writers. Still making my way through it all. But early faves include...

Clearly my mind is still on the Severance finale cause that's all I can think of reading this poem.

Kathleen Keenan’s Solstice in @thenewquarterly.bsky.social is exactly what I needed on this rainy day.

“You think that’s just how it works, life providing you with abundance, but it isn’t. Oh, it isn’t at all.”

"Touch and singing." All three (!) of @ronnabloom.bsky.social's poems in the latest @fiddlehd.bsky.social are a gift, but this? This is necessary.

That's very very kind. And kismet. Happy to share these pages with you!

The issue's a stunner end to end. Pieces with heart plus a thought-provoking essay on Pakistani-Canadian poetry by @manahil.bsky.social whose book, Heliotropia, also stuns 🌻
