Obsidian Voices
@author.bsky.social
Featuring poets from around the world. Daily spotlights, interviews, and unforgettable poems. Because every voice deserves to be heard.
A quick note: I won’t be selecting or curating poems. If you’d like to be featured, send me a DM with the poem you’d like shared and a short bio. There is no cost. No catch. No paid features. Just poets supporting poets. Let’s see what you’ve got.

Quick note: If you’d like me to feature your writing, please send me the specific article, poem, or post you’d like considered. I don’t go digging through websites or Substacks looking for something to feature. Send me your best work and I’ll happily have a look. 😉
A new direction. This account is now dedicated to discovering and featuring poets from around the world. Poets: introduce yourself below. Readers: find your next favorite voice.
“124 was spiteful. Full of a baby’s venom.” — Beloved, Toni Morrison Thoughts? #booksky
“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” — The Gunslinger, Stephen King Would this hook you enough to keep reading? @stephenking.bsky.social #booksky
Let’s build a story together. I’ll start with the first line. You reply with the next line. Let’s see where it goes.

"Ceremony of Rot" A feast in the cesspool. Nothing sacred. Nothing hidden. The dance plays on until it doesn't. Cornerwriter 2026 #PoetryCommunity #Spilledink #InstaPoetry #PoetryLovers #Booksky
I’m going to go quiet for a while. Giving, promoting, helping, and then being blocked or ignored for it wears you down more than people realize. Time to step back, protect my energy, and write. #Booksky
This one really hurts. I featured someone only to support their work, and instead of a message or a conversation, I was simply blocked. I’m only trying to do good here. Sometimes that lands harder than the block itself. #Booksky #writingcommunity #poetrycommunity #indieauthors #AuthorDiscovery
Reminder for Featured Author Friday If you’d like to be considered, please DM your work or recommend an emerging author. Otherwise, I curate independently Poetry. Excerpts. Short stories. #FeaturedAuthor #AuthorDiscovery #WritingCommunity #Booksky #AmWriting #Unagented #IndieAuthors #DebutWriters
This is how I write my poetry, scraps, crossings-out, pages that argue with themselves until a line finally stays. And you? How does your process look? #poetry #writinglife #amwriting #poetsofbluesky #firstdrafts #Booksky
1/3 Feature Thursday @upfromsumdirt A poet whose work moves by sound and association, where language does not explain itself so much as unfold. This is poetry that trusts the reader. #Booksky #Poetry #BlackPoets #PoetryCommunity
Before we learn to read words, we learn to read beauty. A child holding Miles Davis, already listening for a life. I 💙 this photo! Many could learn so much from this child’s perspective. #MilesDavis #Jazz #Bebop

@jay.bsky.team a little blue birdie told me “reskeet” has been banished to the gates of Musk’s wet dream. Please confirm. As one of the OGs, I quite like the term. 💙🦋
This reads like a sound-driven piece, more about rhythm and motion than explanation. Interesting textures here. P.S. I grew up on Supertramp. Visions of cafeteria food and sticky fingers behind the bleachers.

Not a review. A shrug with credentials. You deserved a reader. #poetry
Today at Author Discovery Poetry Micro Flash Thursday Short work. Small forms. Lines that carry more than their length. Sharing poems and flash pieces that prove brevity can still leave a mark. DM me or I curate. 💙🦋 #PoetryCommunity #FlashFiction #AuthorDiscovery #Booksky #AmWriting
Many have told me I’m only here to charge for services. That’s fucking bullshit. I’m not. They’re running scared — and they know it. #Booksky #WritingCommunity #WritersOfBluesky #IndieAuthors #AuthorLife #AmWriting
My services are free. If you don’t believe in that, if you have a problem with that, or if you’re afraid this platform will surpass your pay-for-play— then run. Don’t look back. Fucking scabs. #WritingCommunity #Booksky #IndieAuthor #AuthorLife #FreeArt #NoPayToPlay #SupportWriters
I’m not collecting followers. I’m writing for people who actually read. If that’s not you, fuck off and unfollow. #WritingCommunity #Booksky #IndieAuthor #AuthorLife #RealWriting #NoAudienceNoProblem

Anybody building in the queer book-o-sphere, this is a great follow. If you’re looking for community, readers, and fellow authors here on BookSky, J.M. Weaver is one to connect with. Wishing you a smooth path to publication. 🌈📚 #Booksky

In 1969, at the height of America’s racial tension, Maya Angelou published I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, a Black woman insisting her story mattered when many said it didn’t. “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” #BlackAuthors #BlackLiterature #Booksky
This is a draft of my poem Mirror Lies. Unfinished. Crossed out. Still arguing with itself. This is what the work looks like before it pretends to be clean. #AmWriting #PoetryDraft #AuthorDiscovery #Booksky
