“Inhabiting the Poem.” Seven Poetry Collections to Read This October “What was the work the poet was demanding of me? It was to inhabit the poem, to live willingly in its world.” Those sentences were written by my late teacher Helen Vendler, and arrive in the second…

On @literaryhub.bsky.social, Christopher Spaide reflects on the words of his teacher Helen Vendler, whose final essays appear in a new LOA volume. The goal, he writes, is not to look for the easy-to-grasp features of a poem, but “to strive to inhabit every poem in all its standoffish singularity.”

Thanks to Chris Spaide and @literaryhub.bsky.social for featuring the upcoming collection 13 Questions for the Next Economy by @utopiaminus.bsky.social in Seven Poetry Collections to Read This October!

FDA Office of Minority Health is gone.

If anyone is documenting the pages going missing, I have a small database. I will not be taking it on long-term but am using it right now and am willing to hand it off to a relevant group. Pages as simple as Women in the Federal Workforce have gone missing.

We, the daughters and sons of Tuskegee Airmen will continue to teach their important role in our collective history. Trump's "order" is racist trash. 🗑️My dad was an Airman and I'll be damned if they erase him and his fellows.

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Noemi Press is hyped to publish Juan Felipe Herrera’s new collection, THE COSMIC FLOW.

I say this w/o hyperbole, this is unlike any book he has ever made. Following the pandemic shutdown, he began a daily practice of artpoem mandalas. He did this for years.

This is part of the outcome.

I have been waiting for this since I heard it live! Thank you!
