@ypathak.bsky.social's meditation on what it means to be a woman in two cultures, connected to loved ones as a daughter, a wife, a mother. Weaving rich description of the domestic and the artistic seamlessly throughout, this is a book of warm, rich imagery and quiet, compelling reflection.

Now on sale by Cory Hutchinson-Reuss! Triptych's central concern is care: for the incarcerated, for the body, for the natural world. The result is a meditation on the relationship of self, society, and nature, yet one that resists easy answers.

Sleeping Lessons by J.I. Kleinberg out now! Essentially one long poem, it uses a gentle, musical language and familiar, comfortable descriptions to create a lovely mood. The quiet quality of this little book makes it a pleasure to read and provides a kind of lullaby for an overstimulated world.
