I read an ARC of Ibe Liebenberg’s Birds at Night (@ttupress) at the beginning of the year. How lucky to have his language as a companion all year.

Amber McCrary Blue Corn Tongue (@azpress) made me laugh out loud right before it made me cry multiple times. I love how the speaker’s rich interiority is mirrored by their careful observations of the more than human world.

I love that Poets and Writers editor India Lena González invited each debut poet to recommend works by other debut writers.
The gaps and reworkings/re-recordings in Abi Pollokoff’s night myths ** before the body (@redhenpress) invite the reader to linger with each poem.

More recommendations! I love that Poets and Writers editor India Lena González invited each debut poet to recommend works by other debut writers.
You can read more about Kalehua and Mele in the newest issue of Poets and Writers where she’s featured on their 10 Best Debut Poets.

I love that @poetswritersinc asked about my favorite 2025 releases. Even more, I love that India let me recommend Sarah Pape’s 2024 Forgive the Animal (@cornerstone.press). So gorgeous! Sarah’s currently selling signed copies + the beautiful totes in the final image, contact her for more details!

The kids and I drove to Murphy Dome between soccer practices last night. It wasn’t quite right timing wise, but still so, so beautiful.

Thank you for making sure I saw this! 🥹💕

It is with great honor & humility that we will premiere our short #TwoOldWomen film at #HIFF45 w/ our Kanaka relatives. 🙏🏽 Mahsi’choo to author #VelmaWallis for her support!
