Thanks so much!

Gorgeous!

Oh yes this counts! How pretty!

We need more pie on Bluesky TBH

I’m halfway through this collection & finding it so so so good. Highly recommend. Reading very slowly & in short, dark windows because I still have a migraine. Seriously losing my mind.

Same!!! So happy! Enjoy the time together ❤️

I feel better knowing Anne Carson has won this prize. Something feels a little different today. As if a certain pureness has returned for a moment. An unmitigated goodness.

Anne Carson. Yes. Just absolutely, yes.

YES SUCK IT! Love this sentiment. Thanks so much, Julia.

Interesting! Yes, fall allergies are quite bad and seem to get worse every year. Sorry you experience this too and I hope you stay healthy!

Oh I'm so sorry about the hip replacement! I know a couple people for whom it was absolutely life changing in a great way and not too terrible a recovery. So I will be hoping for that outcome for you too! Best of luck with it!

Oof that sounds awful. I'm so sorry. I hope you are able to get it under control. I've ruptured a disc in my neck and the only thing that helped was consistent PT and core exercises and just the passing of time. I hope you find a path to less pain.

Thank you and so sorry you have chronic stuff too. Sending hugs right back! I've managed 3 different diseases for most of my adult life along with chronic migraine & sinusitis, immune issues, and 2 ACL repairs. It's a lot! But at least nothing has killed me. 😂

Thanks so much Donna. I’m sorry you deal with these beasts too.

I manage so many chronicle illnesses & it’s a pretty demoralizing way to live!

I was starting to get my sinus infection under control yesterday. Felt the best I’d felt in weeks. Then last night, I developed my typical signs of vestibular migraine & have been in migraine land ever since. Another lost day. 😩

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

I love how writing a poetry collection allows you to play a lot more than writing individual poems does. You can add little shorties and long connective tissue and poems that could never stand in a field alone.
