And in your mind, there are horizons,
but hurry—now it’s time to go.

—Ying Wu
We Call It Targeted Operations by Ying Wu - Rattle: Poetry
because abstractions make it easier on mornings when you’re running late— when the lid is stuck, and the toast is burnt, and your child hates her pleated, pin-striped, poplin uniform.

Fantasy buffs: Don't miss out on early access to this book!
Hey #WritingCommunity and #readingcommunity, I’m still looking for #ARC #readers for THE FLOATING CASTLE. It’s a dark, epic #fantasy perfect for your autumn reads. Reviews left on Goodreads would be deeply appreciated before the launch of the book and at retailers after the launch.

When the Tomahawk Missile Blinked by JaLeah Hedrick - Rattle: Poetry
out the lives of eleven people allegedly transporting drugs across the Gulf, I was in my bed, asleep, though never deeply, my body never stops anticipating a flare in the dark.

This NPR feature, where it's two romance authors and a woman host talking about book recs, wouldn't have existed even ten years ago. Or it would've been treated as niche and unserious. Long live #chicklit dominance!! www.npr.org/2025/06/18/1...
