Poetry lost the wonderful Martha Silano this week. From her book “The One We Call Ours”

"The girl’s mother had a rule: not to whistle at night because the ghosts would come. But all girls are curious so she whistled anyway." — Mizuki Yamagen 🦋 wow, these stories from the HAD x hex collab call have been stunners, every one! https://www.havehashad.com/fblmk

Oh this hurt. By the brilliant Tess Gallagher.

Did my first two fights at a Muay Thai scrimmage yesterday. Definitely a lot of fun, though there are things I need to fix. Like keeping my hands up so I don't tank four successive hard punches to the head. ^^; (To the concerned, I'm okay! I was wearing headgear and am not concussed.)

I loved today's Anyu Ching story from open, then the ending knocked me out. "I have my mother’s tongue. Not metaphorically. Not in a poetic, intergenerational trauma kind of way. I mean quite literally. It used to be in her mouth, and now it’s in mine." https://www.havehashad.com/28k7u

reading submissions, thinking about how hard it is to pull off a good love poem, thought of matthew olzmann & remembered this absolute all timer we were lucky enough to get to pub "...I’m afraid of dying alone and I imagine I’m not alone in that fear..." https://www.havehashad.com/nf3ay

I'm now repped by DPN Talent in New York! Honestly still kinda shook, but we're here and we're going to make this count. ✨ Thanks so much to the team for taking a chance on me!

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

I finally did it! I ran three miles on the treadmill at a 9:50/mile pace! This was one of the benchmarks for the Muay Thai training I'm doing and I've been trying to whip my cardio into shape since January. My hamstrings are not happy with me, but we did it! :D

It surprises me how much more at peace I am with rejection and failure now. I'm a sensitive soul. I can't deny that that stuff still hurts. But now it's like, guess it happened. If I'm not what they wanted, it's their loss. If I need to improve, I figure out next steps. It's simpler that way.

Dangit Terrance Hayes. You really hit home with something I can't put a finger on and I needed this today. :')

That was fantastic. It was insightful and illuminating. Jeremy's concise, analytical, and effective directions - and the supporting reasons and guidance on how we should do it for ourselves when we're in the booth - were valuable and actionable. Thank you very much for a GREAT session! 💪🔥

The Good News: I didn't have a nervous breakdown again when doing pretty heavy Muay Thai sparring - and this time there were consecutive rounds and people were going much harder on me! 🥳 The Bad News: I took so many leg kicks that shorts won't be an option for a while! 🙃

Does anyone else get into a soup mood during the winter? Maybe because I miss my mom making certain kinds of soup for me, I've started making them myself. Namely the peanut and lotus root one, though I'm also going out to see if I can grab some bitter melons this round.
