Poppy State: A Labyrinth of Plants and a Story of Beginnings
By Myriam Gurba. Timber Press. Out
Oct. 21.
The latest by writer and activist Myriam Gurba is a raw yet delightful lesson for our time. Gurba masterfully blends ecofeminism, memoir, humor, candor, plant love and Indigenous knowledge into one of the most unique and captivating books I've read this year.

And for nonwriters, it may be an interesting slice of history. The Lavender Scare was a US-government-led attack on the LGBTQ+ population from the 1950s to '70s, and the simultaneous invention of the queer pulp novel ultimately contributed to the Lavender Scare's end.

Good morning #5amWritersClub & @authorsabb.bsky.social. It's #BannedBooksWeek! I've been thinking a lot about what it means to be a writer in 2025, when free speech is constantly under attack. I hope you find this essay to offer a glimmer of hope!
