This little bit of lovely arrived a few weeks ago from @tinywrenlit.bsky.social —EARTH: Poems of Presence and Possibility. I don’t often write tiny poems so this feels extra sweet & if you are looking for tangible beauty to hold in your hands, @tinywrenlit.bsky.social makes small & beautiful books.

“I don’t know what happens

to a person between one thing

and the next, how it holds

A poem of mine, from this summer, that was published in the beautiful @psalteryandlyre.bsky.social. And here I am still asking why, and how.

I just replied on Twitter —what a great workshop idea! I write a lot about mothering & being mothered. This is one of my favorites: literarymama.com/articles/dep...
