We Contain Landscapes has been out for 3 months. grateful for the readers the book has found already & for readers to come. the publishing industry can give a false sense of urgency—means a lot if you’ve read WCL already & will continue to mean a lot if you read it another season, or years from now
grateful for print media keeping on despite 🖤 poems from We Contain Landscapes in the latest issues of BRINK & @westbranchmagazine.bsky.social

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

I have been thinking about @davidnaimon.bsky.social interview with Patrycja Humienik all day. I was thinking about her saying she comes into her body when in the water as I was driving down Lake Drive in Milwaukee. The lake was ominous and stormy today.
Constance Malloy@theburninghearth.bsky.social · last yr.Just spent a stormy morning in WI reading David's interview with Patrycja Humienik. ⚓❤️🌊 "...we anchor in order to then set off as well." Also, I vote to keep the title "Romantic or Pathetic" @davidnaimon.bsky.socialhttps://tinhouse.com/transcript/between-the-covers-patrycja-humienik-interview/

@patrycjasara.bsky.social's poetry collection, We Contain Landscapes, asks, "How do we move beyond dominant paradigms — of ownership, of borders, of shame?"
"I feared the door. Someone coming to take my parents away."
Poetry in We Contain Landscapes spotlights a child of formerly undocumented Polish immigrants.
