@ironoakeditions.bsky.socialReposted by @ironoakeditions.bsky.socialWhat makes us sit up: work that ends by naming something we didn't know we needed to hear. Character-driven, lyric, immersive. Fiction and CNF that makes us think and feel.

@ironoakeditions.bsky.socialReposted by @ironoakeditions.bsky.social"Poetry's lifeblood is its against-all-odds idiosyncratic nature and its obstinacy in the face of the myriad pressures to be anything else or sound any other way than the way it does. That's what makes poetry queer. That's what makes poetry useful."
