I spent my weekend with Bycatch by @csmithpoet.bsky.social (@ninearchespress.bsky.social). These poems about caring for elderly parents, exploring memory and home, are raw, intimate, and intricately captured. This collection will stay with me for a long time! 💙

Many congratulations! @ninearchespress.bsky.social are fantastic publishers to be a part of. 👏
