Flight: A Literary Sampler @flightlit.bsky.social · Aug 18
Day 18 of the #sealeychallenge

August 18th- What was eaten was given, Billie Sainwood

@kithbooks.bsky.social makes beautiful books, and the poems inside this collection are funny and well-crafted
The cover of the Billie Sainwood book What was eaten was given "Love letter to my first crop top" The way you hold me stretched taut as canvas across. Flattering, honest. There is no hiding No cover for the stomach. Soft geometry. This is my body. Its unruly pop and bulge. It dares you to love. Gift from my ex wife. Once hers, now mine. Legacy. Woman to woman. Your strong cotton hands. Grip me and squeeze. Pull me tight. Lift me. Support me. Stomach horizon. Cliffs of breasts above ocean. My new tectonics. You show me new worlds. You gently teach me new tongues. The way you hold me.

It’s October which means it’s been a year since I emailed @kithbooks.bsky.social and went “hey what do you think about a short story collection?” I for one think now is the PERFECT time of year to pick up YOU ARE NOT YOUR BONES if you like queer shit and hauntings that aren’t always literal :)
