“Today’s poem acknowledges the beauty we have—the view we have. It also mourns the beauty that would exist without our interference. Holding space for both is a feat of empathy and imagination,” shares @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social.

New essay from me in Chicago Magazine: a love letter to Ryne Sandberg, my late dad and the Chicago Cubs

www.chicagomag.com/city-life/do...
“Do It Just Like Ryno”
The author admired how the Cubs' star second baseman took a humble approach to the sport, and how that attitude could translate into cherishing life.

I reckon I'll buy all the weekly winners of the #bookjacketbracket.

Also: Working on a collaboration with Perelandra Bookshop in Fort Collins to stock them too. Might be a fun way for other local shops to highlight eye-catching covers.
