I'm still alive: stupid, partial, desiring specific ways of feeling good —Sarah Green @sarahgreenpoet.bsky.social

Matter

Today I touched lilacs
as if I was saying wait with my fingers,
tugging a shirt so the person inhabiting it
would turn to me. I don't know who I was
pulling back from the other world. Maybe
my friend who died, the one I dreamed

walked past the line of torches on the beach marking that property from this, past a sign
he did not care about. It was only for me.
Maybe I touched him-but I don't believe
we become everything. He's not the same
as the flower. He is somewhere,

and I'm grateful that I don't understand
because it means I'm still alive: stupid, partial,
desiring specific ways of feeling good,
crying on the couch because it's light so late
and the birds won't stop singing. It's light,
and it doesn't matter what I want.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Bookshop.org enters the e-book arena, giving indie stores a new way to compete with Amazon

"Everything Amazon can do, we want to do as well or better," says CEO Andy Hunter on boosting indie sales digitally.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

From one of my favorite collections this year, Retribution Forthcoming by Katie Berta -- "What this poem is supposed to be / -- what I am, with you, so silent, so still / across our restaurant table -- is / watched."

If you think about it, the very best books are really just extremely long spells that turn you into a different person for the rest of your life
