If you’re looking for sharp yet soft, sexy yet romantic, esoteric yet eerily relatable poems that touch on everything from “Fleabag” to tarot to Sylvia Plath to Bathsheba and Britney Spears… READ THIS BOOK! 💙 Congratulations to Isabelle Correa 💜 #poetry

Jennifer Givhan‘s “The Sleeping Sisters” is an epic, poetic story that weaves together family, the supernatural, systemic misogyny, intergenerational trauma and how to keep on living in a world that can be cruel. It’s also a tribute to the women and girls whose lives ended on the West Mesa. 🩷 📚

I don’t think there’s another author I enjoy as much as Ashley Winstead. Everything is so clever, so sharp, so funny, so sexy and (in her thrillers) so chilling. She’s a great writer who understands and portray relationships between women so truthfully. 💙 📚

Imogen Crimp places the reader so perfectly in the mind of a young opera singer who is struggling to prove herself while also handling a relationship that’s draining her of all her color. Fans of Sally Rooney will enjoy this one. I loved “A Very Nice Girl” so much!

I realized a dream I didn’t know I had: collaborating with the amazing artist Sarah Gilchrist (you can see her beautiful work below), a wonderful friend of mine. I hope you enjoy my poem and her art in the latest issue of @deceleration.news … special thanks to editor @mcortez.net 🌞 🐍

So happy about my Marla Taviano piece! She’s a poet and artist who very thoughtfully (and often hilariously) combines images from Frog and Toad (our queer elders) with quotes from the beautiful show “Heated Rivalry.” These are just so, so delightful. 🌈 🐸 🏒@marlataviano.bsky.social

An illustration from Arnold Lobel’s “Frog and Toad” series, with Toad hiding in bed and Frog hiding in the closet. The quote “Hey, that’s not what this is” from the Season 1 finale of “Heated Rivalry” is imposed over the image. This piece of art by Marla Taviano is leaning across a collection of poetry books.

I never realised that Dolly Parton couldn’t have children because of endometriosis. And that she was public about that in the 70’s and 80’s, when there was even more stigma and shame around infertility and menstruation than there is today.

Allie Rowbottom’s “Lovers XXX” is full of dreamy L.A. nostalgia and the heartbreaks that create a permanent crack in your life. Rowbottom’s writing is so lyrical and thoughtful. I fell in love with her characters and was so captivated by their stories. This is a book about love — and hope. 💜

Curious as to why Trump has turned America's 250th anniversary into a spectacle-ridden vanity project? Lucky for you, we have an entire magazine issue dissecting why the president wants to control the country’s future by rewriting its past. Check it out: tinyurl.com/amvd6ja4
