Poets! Show me your favorite poetry book *cover* and tell me why it's great for that collection of poems.

My example: Emilia Phillip's EMBOUCHURE. This collage perfectly matches the book's cheeky, queer, joyful takedown of toxic masculinity.

I rediscovered this photo, today. It’s a find from September. I’m unsure whether it is lichen, but it looks pretty cool.

Still remember the surprise the first time reading this. It's not that the form is "hidden"... just somehow it only registered for me with those last two incredible lines. And then I had to read it all again.

Thinking of writing about OCD & of the form(at)s & modes that could support symptoms like reassurance seeking, justice seeking, a sense of foreshortened future, intrusive thoughts, & more.

Of course, the obsessive forms of the sestina, villanelle, & pantoum come to mind.

But maybe a new form?
