NBCC Tech VP and Membership Co-VP Rebecca Hussey reviewed "Sea Now," written by Eva Meijer and translated from the Dutch by Anne Thompson Melo, for Words Without Borders:
It's a joy and an honor to be a (small) part of this wise, brave, lovely book. So happy it's in the world. Congratulations @burgi.bsky.social!
Big news for the pod!
Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Coming out in February, but I wish it were tomorrow. Waiting (impatiently) for this book I already know I love.
Everything is terrible, except the view-from-below paws of this ready-to-sew trompe l’oeil cat issued by Arnold Print Works, MA c. 1892 (courtesy Fashion and Textile Museum London)
Thinking about an elder who talked w/me at the Climate Anxiety Counseling Booth about trying to find out what was happening with her sister on their island during a hurricane a few years ago & no US weather station was covering it--the racist structure that created those hours of silence & waiting

So when you leave your messages for your senators over the weekend, you will want to demand:
- No cuts/obstacles to Medicaid
- Retain gender-affirming coverage
- No handouts for what Alec is describing in this thread below
From Jen Bervin's Nets: "When we write poems, the history of poems is with us, pre-inscribed on the white of the page; when we read or write poems, we do it with or against this palimpsest."
This is a persistent feeling in a poet, but staying alert to all the ways one is coerced into denying experience, sense, and reason is a huge task.
