I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.

We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?

Trans people are human beings — and they deserve to live in dignity like anyone else.

We're going to go hard in on this!

We have about five trusted resources right now who we call on for features and reviews. But we want to build that so it's more like thirty platforms. #JoinUs

#PoetryCommunity #Poetry #PoemsAbout #PoetsOfBlueSky #LiftToTheSky
If you run a blog, newsletter, podcast, or review site—and you want a regular stream of independent literature to cover—I want to hear from you.

If you're a press or writer wanting in on this network as it forms—message me.

This is a fantastic move from Glenn! I'm going to ask you to name and tag all your favourite one-hander presses in the comments and for you to use the hashtag #LiftToTheSky for each of them.

Let's give them all the reach they deserve!
For this week's #LiftToTheSky I want us to celebrate our small independent presses, especially those run by one person.

They are the lifeblood of poetry.

And especially those who still believe in the printed word; something you can touch and hold, turn and give. 📚

The Book Bag on Sunday. 8am.

A book that takes the risk of taking on some of the greats of poetry past and present.

But with greater risk comes greater reward.
