New spring issue just dropped!
whaleroadreview.bsky.social Whale Road Review @whaleroadreview.bsky.social · Mar 17
“Tomorrow will bring a different mess,” writes Maria Koors in “The Optimist’s Almanac.” As I’ve prepared this Spring 2025 issue, I’ve been thinking about the messes that continue to pile up, both personal and shared.

This is what happens when you read Anne Carson and Sabrina Orah Mark on the same day 🫣

I make you a bowl of soup. You dump it on the floor and wear the bowl on your head. I cry. You say don’t cry over spilled soup. You needed a new hat and you wanted to inhale the scent of vegetable broth. The best of both galaxies. I say the Sombrero Galaxy. You say the Cartwheel Galaxy. The Black Eye Galaxy. I say the Fireworks Galaxy. The Pinwheel Galaxy. You say how many light years? I say 2.5 million. You say it’s not enough and then you pull yourself apart. I place the bowl on my head. Eat soup off the floor. Calculate my love in light years. -sarah mills
