![Nadia Alexis’s heartrending and heart-mending debut collection, Beyond the Watershed, asks us to bear witness to chilling intimate partner violence, then the poet, like the “wounded rooster [who] sings of morning / like it wants to forget the night, // invites [our] eyes to open like curtains.” A stunning poetic and visual account of survival that refuses to sugarcoat, Beyond the Watershed begins as prayer and ends as its own extraordinary answer to prayer.

Friday night in reading nature poems. This one by Dorianne Laux is a joy. 🤩
I’m slow reading You Are Here: Poetry in the Natural World anthology edited by Ada Limón.
& I’m purposely avoiding the TOC so it can be a surprise to see who’s in the book & what poem/poet comes next.
Delightful.
