Self-Portrait as Hélène Delmaire's Painting of a Woman in the Bathtub whose face you cannot see. Head to knees, back bare, shoulders sloped toward shadow. I bow to the ache. Surrender in the color between greens: my thinking serpentine: cinching the waist of the world. The bathwater is still, but the walls are moving. When two paths cross, the colors bleed. Muddied pinks, burst of rivered yellow. Winter in the plains. How when spring came, it was earned. I am listening for the echo of a bell beneath my tongue. The condition of woman is to stay. The condition of woman is to grieve. Weeping, I refuse—

“A child is the wrong technology for dreaming.”

—Patrycja Humienik in WE CONTAIN LANDSCAPES (Tin House) 💙

@patrycjasara.bsky.social
An Anchor Is an Argument Growing up, I despised the metronome, its insistence on orderly time, the lie. Counting the seconds between flash & stampede in my childhood bed-storms full of horses. A woman in the night must be sensitive to sound in case the sound has a motive. Anchor is an argument. A child is the wrong technology for dreaming. I play Comptine d'un autre été whenever I come across a piano. I play with feeling, but I can never remember the ending.

This poem by @aireadee.bsky.social lifted me this morning on its Icarus wings.

dialect only moths comprehend."

We Contain Landscapes has been out for 3 months. grateful for the readers the book has found already & for readers to come. the publishing industry can give a false sense of urgency—means a lot if you’ve read WCL already & will continue to mean a lot if you read it another season, or years from now

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.
