…SO Honored that I’ve actually been having nightmares about seeing my name in this kind of table of contents.
But seriously, go get the issue! Not to read my poem but to read the whole thing—it is an amazing collection!

The moral of the story is that poetry takes time, in one way at or another. I have so many more in me that haven’t finished “processing.” Sometimes they arrive sooner and need more care, sometimes they arrive late, fat and healthy from their emergence. This is what I love about it.

On the other hand, I wrote “Milk” last fall after waking up early itching to write. It just sprung from me fully formed like god from a kneecap. I adjusted the ending and that’s it. It saw just 1 rejection. But “Milk” is based on an accident I witnessed in 2016 that I’ve been processing ever since.

I started drafting “Subsistence” in 2018, and it took quite some time to get right. Over the years it garnered 16 rejections (5 encouraged) and went through countless drafts. I’m very proud of this version and happy to see it among such awesome company.

An unabashed testament to the importance of embracing the messiness at the core of any story, a process which drives our humanity. 👏 @geetha-iyer.bsky.social 👏👏

I’ll be waiting for the piece! The way Chad handles ethics questions is even more unsettling than its inability to accurately account for human appendages.

Yeah I mean…how do you beat the OG? And the best take ever of the OG on top of it.

Agree. Part of me wishes it was less predictable. I was pulling for The Kid from the Giving Tree (but not for long after the first round exit).
