Author Discovery

I’m going to go quiet for a while.

Giving, promoting, helping, and then being blocked or ignored for it wears you down more than people realize.

Time to step back, protect my energy, and write.

Fuck the ingrates

What are you trying to say?

Actually, fuck this motherfucker. I don’t care I will continue to do what I see fit.

I don’t want anything. I only want to promote .

🤷

I did spend at least two hours going through different accounts until I found this one which really resonated with me. What a shame. His work is fantastic.

This one really hurts.
I featured someone only to support their work, and instead of a message or a conversation, I was simply blocked.
I’m only trying to do good here.
Sometimes that lands harder than the block itself.

They’re all over on IG save for a few.

They’re all poems

I kind of do the same thing. I dictate them into my Notes app, and then whatever I have, I throw down on paper and scratch around, changing things. You never know when something will pop up and a new muse is born.

FFS I’m still writing 2025 on everything! 😳

Reminder for Featured Author Friday

If you’d like to be considered, please DM your work or recommend an emerging author.
Otherwise, I curate independently

Poetry.
Excerpts.
Short stories.

#FeaturedAuthor #AuthorDiscovery #WritingCommunity #Booksky #AmWriting #Unagented #IndieAuthors #DebutWriters

This is how I write my poetry, scraps, crossings-out, pages that argue with themselves until a line finally stays.
And you? How does your process look?

3/3

If you are drawn to poems that experiment boldly
but still protect a real emotional core,

Spend time with this voice.

Small forms.
Large echoes.

2/3

What stands out in his work is the tension between brilliance and vulnerability.

The lines dazzle, yes,
but underneath the invention is a steady question

How much of love, faith, and self can language actually hold

Feature Thursday
@upfromsumdirt

A poet whose work moves by sound and association,
where language does not explain itself so much as unfold.

This is poetry that trusts the reader.

Before we learn to read words,
we learn to read beauty.

A child holding Miles Davis,
already listening for a life.

I 💙 this photo! Many could learn so much from this child’s perspective. #MilesDavis #Jazz #Bebop

@jay.bsky.team a little blue birdie told me “reskeet” has been banished to the gates of Musk’s wet dream. Please confirm. As one of the OGs, I quite like the term. 💙🦋

This reads like a sound-driven piece, more about rhythm and motion than explanation. Interesting textures here.

P.S. I grew up on Supertramp. Visions of cafeteria food and sticky fingers behind the bleachers.

Not a review.
A shrug with credentials.

You deserved a reader. #poetry

Today at Author Discovery

Poetry Micro Flash Thursday

Short work.
Small forms.
Lines that carry more than their length.

Many have told me I’m only here to charge for services.
That’s fucking bullshit.
I’m not.
They’re running scared — and they know it.

Mouse days good night to all loyal followers. 🦋💙 #booksky

Don’t look back.

Fucking scabs.
