9 Books That Will Make You Reconsider Florida Stereotypes - Electric Literature Take a dizzying tour of the often-misunderstood Sunshine State

Books about Florida, which decade after decade is flooded with people who are not meek nor content nor predisposed to toe the line.

I’m curious what they’re checking.. I fact check when copyediting poems for journals, but usually it’s checking quotes, epigraphs, historical or scientific references, etc. Poetry asked me to provide scans of the essays I was quoting in a poem to check for accuracy which is p normal.

Historic day today! #TheCityLibrary board is voting to recognize the first library #union in the state of Utah!

Text of Allowables By: Nikki Giovanni I killed a spider Not a murderous brown recluse Nor even a black widow And if the truth were told this Was only a small Sort of papery spider Who should have run When I picked up the book But she didn’t And she scared me And I smashed her I don’t think I’m allowed To kill something Because I am Frightened

Nikki Giovanni's "Allowables" is one that has always stuck with me. RIP to one of the greatest.

"Poets of the mystic, the spiritual, and the devotional have wielded the image to draw a powerful parallel between the art of imagination and the practice of faith."

“The People Leporidae” poem came to be after I read this piece for the first time 🐇

Your writing process will change on a daily basis with every project, because every project is different. Whatever gets you to the final product is the way that that book needed to be written.

So I need you to stop scrolling and say this aloud right now.

"My writing process is not broken."

I just had 2 #poems accepted by The Pinch!

"Consumed in Three Parts" had been rejected 28 times before being accepted by The Pinch! That's the most rejections any of my poems had gotten before acceptance.

"The Funeral Procession Transmogrifies into Crows" was rejected 5 times before.

#TransDayOfRemembrance was yesterday and my friend Selina was on my mind. They would have turned 30 in 2025 and I wonder what conversations we could have had about poetry, gender, musicals. This is a poem I wrote for them a few years ago, now in @sugarhousereview.bsky.social (we met in Sugar House)

I have my fingers crossed for my poems in your queue for the Visitation issue!

No, you don't qualify for the Rattle Young Poets Anthology because you're "young at heart." 🙃

Congratulations!! 🩷🤍🧡
