Flinching in my hands this soiled and studded but good heart, which stippling my cupped palms, breathes – —Jen Hadfield, “Hedgehog, Hamnavoe” published in NIGH-NO-PLACE, @bloodaxebooks.bsky.social 2007 #hedgehog #poem #poetry www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/hedgeho...

"​​​we come forth and sometimes singing. but no one / cares after the song or what promise, this thing / called faith. the revelation is always home-grown" 3 poems by @kebishop.bsky.social in Amsterdam Review www.amsterdamreview.org/three-by-karen-elizabeth-bishop.html #poetry #poetrycommunity

My whole career the Humanities seem to have been curled up in a defensive crouch trying to justify our meaning/existence. At times it has even seemed a productive thought exercise, but I think generally whatever body has demanded the justification is not really open to being persuaded of anything.

Just occasionally, you come across a new poem from a young poet that reassures you all is well with the future of poetry. Dean Browne, from his debut Picador collection ‘After Party’

This beautiful, unexpected news ❤️

Love, cast all thought aside. I cast aside all thought. Wendell Berry

So grateful to @amsterdamreview.bsky.social for the nod and for honoring Raúl Zurita's always extraordinary work and Héctor Hernández Montecinos' exquisite curation ❤

So pleased that this translation found its home in the @amsterdamreview.bsky.social. A joy to work with such enthusiastic editors and to see Zurita's prose go far & wide

A favorite from Beth Ann Fennelly for #smallpoemsunday cc: @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

Nobody speaks on the page like Zurita. Many thanks to Amsterdam Review for so generously hosting these words.

Today I was proud to take part in a panel discussion sharing my story about being the parent of a trans child I love this poem by Jay Hulme. It is about grace & belonging It's about the possibility of being loved exactly as you are & accepting this truth. #poetry #poemoftheday #Pride #LoveIsLove

Current reading. I write about Ní Ghrófa in my latest, still under consideration, book. She's beautiful. observer.co.uk/style/whats-...

Poems should evidence some degree of control, but poets should be a little volatile. The poem is a high-risk investment, a long-term commitment. Like a big dirty city, it should make you feel a little uncomfortable. Susan Briante, @noemipress.bsky.social

"We can & must fight for public investment that allows us to serve all students, across the broadest spectrum of academic fields, with a renewed commitment to true academic freedom & secure employment for those who further this mission & serve our students." —Rebecca Givan, @ruaaup-aft.bsky.social

My writing advice is deadhead your roses so the abundance will continue ✨

A project I've been working on a while: "Funeral Rites," by Chilean poet Raúl Zurita, in English translation. Many thanks to Héctor Hernández Montecinos; to the fantastic editors of #AmsterdamReview; and to Zurita for trusting his voice in my hands. www.amsterdamreview.org/funeral-rite...
