(5+6/31) this past weekend, I've been vibing in and out of CJ Hauser's The Crane Wife + Lars Horn's Voice of the Fish, as part of my multi-genre #sealeychallenge riff ❤ Can't wait to spend more time with both of these beyond August! Truly unforgettable opening chapters to both! https://t.co/NjEWVbJxw0

I cannot recommend Optic Subwoof by Douglas Kearney enough -- absolutely one of the most compellingly written craft books, but also, filling such important gaps in aesthetic + political thought right now. Cannot think of a better resource for anyone interested in visual poetics!

Danielle Badra's Like We Still Speak is one of the most formally inventive poetry debuts I've ever read. The way this collection holds grief & contrapuntal & whole book's arc into Arabic? Exquisitely crafted -- this v queer & immaculate book deserves infinitely more hype tbh https://t.co/QAJFiKPcXZ
