Day 6 of the #sealeychallenge is Annie Lighthart's luminous Pax, a great read in these trying times. I love this particular poem and feel it pairs well with Maggie Smith's Good Bones.

#SealeyChallenge, day 5: Kitchen Hymns by Pádraig Ó Tuama. An extended investigation into faith, part of which involves conversations between Christ and Persephone.
Day 4 of the #SealeyChallenge: A Woman Looks Over Her Shoulder by Icelandic poet Brynja Hjalmsdottir, translated by Rachel Britton. Spare, harrowing poems.

Day 3 of #SealeyChallenge is Valerie Martinez's Each and Her. Hard to excerpt this one, as all the poems contribute to the devastating story of Mexican women murdered near the US border.
For day 2 of #SealeyChallenge, since Facebook memories keeps showing me photos from when we were in Iceland this time last year, it seemed only fitting to reread this fun book of poems I bought there.
Last night's dinner: Sweet corn, the way my dad liked it--with bacon grease instead of butter.
Day 1 of #TheSealeyChallenge : A Little White Shadow by Mary Ruefle, erasure poems from an 1889 book of the same title by Emily Malbone Morgan. Lovely.
Welp, starting tomorrow, I'm going to give this challenge a try: www.thesealeychallenge.com They're kind enough to offer ways to adjust the challenge if a book a day doesn't work. In the meantime, here are some of the books I plan on reading. Which would you choose first?

Enjoy your World Cup! I'm in my happy place, live music followed by a production of Chekhov's The Bear at the Museum of Russian Art.
A letter to the Strib reminded me that last year, Tom Emmer, Pete Stauber, Brad Finstad and Michelle Fischbach publised a letter criticizing Canada for not doing more about its wildfires that bothered Minnesotans. Surely they have plans to battle the current MN wildfires, right? Right? Right?????

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community
His name was Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a loving husband and father murdered July 13, 2026. We stand with the people of Maine, their protest, and their quest for justice for another innocent civilian murdered at the hands of ICE.
