I had a chance to talk to @bobsykora.bsky.social about his WONDERFUL book, Utopians in Love, and @vol1brooklyn.bsky.social was kind enough to publish that conversation. Check it out below!!

Happy Valentine’s Day // The Utopians are SO in Love! // you can preorder my book here:

www.gameoverbooks.com/store/p/utop...

@gameoverbooks.bsky.social
Text reads Tell someone you love them by preordering my book. Two cartoon hearts, one wearing a flower and both with great eye lashes, the other holding a copy of my book Utopians in Love Text says Preorder Utopians in Love today, overa bunch of candy hearts. The hearts read: The utopians are in love! Maybe my ass is good enough. My heart won’t be held down by history. History is longing. What absurdities can be imagined greater than institutions? Totes. Nice. My book cover hovers in the right hand upper corner Text reads: your parter doesn’t want flowers for Valentine’s Day They want you to preorder utopians in love by bob sykora from Game over Books, pink background, flowers on the bottom, 4 cartoon hearts, one giving a snappy finger point, the other holding flowers behind their back, and two that are like not in on these flowers they’re so sassy

ALL THR LINE BREAKS REMOVED???!!!
yoadrianididit.bsky.social Adrian 'buy HAIR SHIRT' Sobol @yoadrianididit.bsky.social · Dec 10
This is a relatively minor thing all things considered but I saw people sharing a version of this poem retyped on a notes app with all the line breaks removed so it was just one long column of text, which feels disrespectful.
