05.03.2025 21:41 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Alright yโall, are you ready for some poetry recs?! Hugo nominations close on 3/15, so itโs a great time to get [re]acquainted with some fantastic speculative poetry.
Here's a ๐งต of some of my favorites from 2024.
A screencap of a Reddit post in the r/crochet subreddit by user Ragdoll232. The subject line reads โMy MIL tells me Yarn has Memory.โ The post reads โI know she means for shape, but I just want to whisper words of love into this sweater Iโm making my husband so it remembers and can remind him how loved he is.โ
Last night I was doomscrolling reddit and this post was likeโฆ an unexpected poem and also now I want to whisper little love spells over everything I make. For my own good as well as for others.

28.01.2025 16:11 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The cover for Uncanny Magazine Issue 57, โForever Travelerโ by Antonio Javier Caparo: In the background, a sky of a light purple color with clouds has a flock of white birds flying by. A tall, majestic tree stands in the middle, trunk thick and illuminated by the sun. A bald man in an astronaut's suit is sitting with his legs crossed and eyes closed. He looks like he is meditating; on his right side, his helmet rests on the ground, and the quote says, "We ship ourselves in the deep blue sea. Our hands oars, memories the only compass"
