@eireannmor.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremymichaelreed.bsky.socialI teach a lot of nursing and social work students in my gen ed creative writing classes. Like this person, they come in thinking education is job training. I try to help them leave not only w disciplinary knowledge but also w knowledge that education prepares them to be deeply human
@swiftslitmag.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremymichaelreed.bsky.social"The past is a cloud, and like all clouds, / it must descend in the form of rain."
"what we forget when we talk about forever" by @caitlint.bsky.social closes out our most recent issue reflecting on all the past can be over the long-term.
@swiftslitmag.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremymichaelreed.bsky.social"a small gesture from a strange / hand can redact green horizons"

@jeremymichaelreed.bsky.socialI haven't been able to stop thinking about Kristina Erny's poems since I first heard them at the Louisville Conference several years ago. So glad that we're able to publish five of them here at @swiftslitmag.bsky.social this year, and that her second collection is set to be published!

@a-woo.bsky.socialReposted by @jeremymichaelreed.bsky.socialThe fragment of the earth that is now me is only on its way through me. It is on its way from having been a tree, a school of fish, a terrapin, a flock of birds. It will pass through all those forms again. —Wendell Berry, from Farming, A Hand Book (1970)
