Can’t wait to talk more about Silvonek’s poetry!!
In another piece, Jamie Silvonek writes about the reproductive health care she and others in her prison have received.
As a Girl in Prison, I Experienced Degrading Health Care
Getting health care in prison is challenging at the best of times. In the worst of times, it is degrading and disparaging.

Writing about recent books is so challenging. I feel haven't lived with the book long enough to write about it.
I envy anyone who feels like they can give a confident opinion of a literature in short periods of time.

You and your words build community, and community will support you.
This is what I learn with every moment of engaging with writers and artists, poets and essayists. Our people are scaffolding for each other. And we are all constructing something marvelous, something beautiful.

This is absolutely ridiculous, NFTs use vastly more energy and water than crypto.
Unnecessary and pitiable to the authors and artists whose work is being entrusted.

Where, who, how does one get their hands, reasonably, on a pdf of recent poetry anthologies from those big uni/academic publishers?
Even Nortons, Routledges, etc are so expensive I wouldn’t dream of purchasing. But the anthology is such important work, generally.
