Thanks for the repost!

@totallyturtles.bsky.social do you like tortoises, too? I have a poem in my latest book, “Fire in My Head / Flame in My Heart” about becoming a Galapagos tortoise in my next life. I love turtles, too.

Stay human. Resistance is the only way forward. Make art. Read. Support cultural institutions. Boycott oligarchs. Live sustainably, in community. Use your outside voices. Listen to the birds. Don’t rush. Stay curious and open.

Fire in My Head / Flame in My Heart: Poems for the Pyrocene (Kelsay Books, 2025) is available now @lagunabeachbooks and fine independent bookstores everywhere. If you must order online, recommend @bookshop.org or @powells.bsky.social Don’t support oligarchs!

An oldie, found on a free library shelf when I was staying at a BnB in Bergen, Norway, last January: A Woman in the Polar Night by Christina Ritter. Now one of my all-time favs. #booksky
