From displayed at my county Pride to distributed at a Little Free Poetry Library, here’s three more poems I turned into art cards!

#poetrycommunity & #writingcommunity let this inspire you to make art cards out of your smaller pieces to give to your communities!

Poetry is for everyone!

Fuck the Tangerine Fascist, bisexual people will never be erased from history!

I’m valid as a bisexual person, just like Freddie Mercury, Alan Cumming, Jeremy Brett, Mara Wilson, Margaret Cho, Vincent Price, Raúl Esparza, Lilly Singh, Halsey, etc. & viewers like YOU!

Poets, one way to share your shorter pieces is turning them into accessible art cards & distributing them at Little Free Libraries!

Scheelk’s 2024 poem, MOURNING IN DIASPORA, goes into ancestral communication as an Irish-Diaspora Jew, unanswered questions, as well as the horror of getting Shingles.

Fellow poets, let’s utilize smaller poems into accessible art cards!

If there’s a Little Free Library in your neighborhood, distribute them there!

Below is WHOSE TORAH? (Lucas Scheelk, 2023), a book-spine poem.

Book-spine poetry was popularized by Nina Katchadourian’s 1993 Sorted Books Project.

I’m opening poetry commissions this month so I can pay utilities ($100) as I continue job searching.

NOTE:
Please first prioritize your own survival needs, as well as funds towards Palestinians, before commissioning me.  

Thank you!

This Pesach (& often) I reflect on Hereness:

- how to be a better guest on Turtle Island
- how to best aid in Tikkun Olam

Free Palestine!

Last week I distributed the last 34 copies of, “A Prayer For A Non-Religious Autistic” (former publisher) to Little Free Libraries.

My books came in the mail 2 days before Small Press Distribution closed.

Why document this?

Getting a book published is a Life Event - even if it’s at an end.

Ever since I first learned about white phosphorus bombs in November

(it’s not new as a weapon, it was new to my knowledge)

I’ve haven’t been able to stop thinking about the Human Shadow that I visited in 2010 (that image has never left my brain)

I started reading “A Land With A People: Palestinians and Jews Confront Zionism” this week…

For a few reasons, I don’t talk often about not being a zionist.

I didn’t have five authors copies available, but I had three! Let me know if you’ve found “A Prayer For A Non-Religious Autistic” at the free Poetry Box!

Finances should not be a barrier to absorb poetry into your bones!

Good thing that happened to me this morning - I encountered an egg-yolk jelly during my walk!
