Rebecca Wood (@bextatic.bsky.social) on Multimorbid with @robmclennan.bsky.social kithbooks.com/shop/p/multimorbid

Thank you rob! @robmclennan.bsky.social

Read my piece “Electromagnetic Ghost Communication” ⚡️👻⚡️in the current issue of @wordgathering.bsky.social about an experience I had one year ago today! wordgathering.syr.edu/vol20/issue1...

I'm incredibly proud to have played a part in bringing both of these books to fruition. A devotional to the imperfect mother & disabled poems that force eyes on the real. Phelps & Wood give us empathy in action—the true work of kith.

Featured book! Thank you @disabilitybooks.bsky.social @kithbooks.bsky.social

For those who missed Accomplishment Sunday, Thanks @brettstuckel.com for the review of Multimorbid (@kithbooks.bsky.social) in @wordgathering.bsky.social and thanks @splitlipthemag.bsky.social for highlighting the accomplishment!

Come hear me read and enjoy some poetry in the park this Saturday! Copies of Multimorbid published by @kithbooks.bsky.social will be available! I hear they will also have snacks and tea!

'[Multimorbid] provides patient perspective that reminds doctors: Be careful! The inconsiderate phrase, the shameful note in documentation, can shape the “body as something to hide”' @brettstuckel.com on @bextatic.bsky.social's MULTIMORBID wordgathering.syr.edu/vol20/issue1...

Suggested replies to a chapbook rejection email I just received:

Friendly neighbourhood crafter at the farmers market this morning! Crochet hats, pottery, cross stitch, earrings, and my book. “Hello, here are all the things that I make.”

Soraya was great and I will miss her a lot defector.com/soraya-rober...

Heartbroken over losing Soraya. I meditated with her weekly for 2 yrs. We bonded over how simultaneously simple and challenging it is to apply what we practice. She was smart and scathing and it was particularly fun to encourage her to do impossible things like revel in her desirability. I miss her.

some words on Soraya Roberts, the best writer i ever knew

In case you missed it…
