This piece by @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @lit-namjooning.bsky.social makes me want to go for a walk in the forest, in the rain. It’s been nearly two decades since I’ve done such a thing!

One of my favourite pieces by my favourite poet (and bae) @kathrynreese.bsky.social in my favourite litmag @lit-namjooning.bsky.social
As we head into the weekend, spend a few moments reading this quiet, musical little piece by @kathrynreese.bsky.social. And if you like it, say "coo-ee!" in the comments! literarynamjooning.wixsite.com/litnam/post/...

Read this heartwrenching piece by @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social about the way mothers are judged 💔 "My daughter, the sort of fighter who hides behind her hair. "
I have a CNF here in @bloodhoneylit.bsky.social . Content note for parenting & mental health care (or lack thereof).
CNF "Case Review" by Kathryn Reese

Read this amazing heartbreaker by @sudhasubraman.bsky.social in @centaurlit.bsky.social - so tightly written you don’t know the turn has happened until you’re crying “for the way her saree crumples in the middle where the pleats line up…”
Gorgeous, Sudha 🧡💔

““It is the ones who don’t tick you should watch out for.”

This line gave me chills. A stunning hybrid piece by my talented friend Sumitra.
