"Write me an autograph
in the village they call me Sophie cocaine"
Sophie Podolski, tr. Emiliano Battista and Ros Schwartz.
I take Bolaño's body of work to be an infinite syllabus, and I've discovered so many rad writers that way, esp. Podolski.

“you seem to hear angels mocking you,
you seem to cry out look at the stars!
and run rapid against a fence of spine.”
Amelia Rosselli, Sleep.
AR grew up in exile, daughter of an anti-fascist martyr. Her Italian poems have been widely translated by US poets— but she wrote Sleep in English.
For sure! Quipu as archive and internet
Her work is eternal. Real as hell. And I love her precarios so much. Also for your purposes it’s documented and enlivened in so many different ways…
I’m just delighted to imagine you clicking this link. Lifechanging stuff.

You never know what book is gonna save you.
When my kids & I were reeling after the death of their sis, that bk was Taproot by Keezie Young— found by chance on the teen shelves of our library— a library now under threat.
Big presses w/YA $$: you should be out here fighting for your readers.
Niina how do you drive this thing?!
Here we go again, I guess!
