“In our society, old men are not considered to be wise, but, rather, eccentric, opinionated, sloppy, foolish, stubborn, weak, confused, etc. … In another society, it is different. He is an old man, they say, ask him.” Lydia Davis #writer

“Writing is a way of creating order out of chaos, of taking charge of one's own story, being the sovereign of the self by pushing back against received knowledge and guarding the sanctity of the dwelling place of the imagination, that place of first permission.” Natasha Trethewey #poetry #writer

AGAINST EVERYONE WITH CONNER HABIB 290: I talk with writer, astrologer and teacher RONNIE PONTIAC about why we all need to find our spiritual paths in this time of destruction (+ why I don’t trust astrologers) 🎧: open.spotify.com/episode/5jMy...

“Words are what sticks to the real. We use them to push the real, to drag the real into the poem. They are what we hold on with, nothing else. They are as valuable in themselves as rope with nothing to be tied to.” Jack Spicer #poetry #writer

I can’t recommend highly enough Howie Good’s collection of prose poems, Akimbo (Sacred Parasite). You will cry and laugh with him. His work should be better known. Available directly from the publisher in a handsomely produced limited edition. @carrieetter.bsky.social @sacredparasite.bsky.social

We're having to move distributors by the end of March. Don't ask, but corporates being corporate. It is going to cost a bit and a half. If you are able to help cushion the blow. You can buy some excellent books here: www.bluemoosebooks.com Thank you.

“Keep growing quietly and seriously throughout your whole development; you cannot disturb it more rudely than by looking outward and expecting from outside replies to questions that only your inmost feeling in your most hushed hour can perhaps answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke #5amwritersclub #writesky

PREORDER (31.05.2025): Rhian Elizabeth’s maybe i’ll call gillian anderson is a raw, darkly funny, and deeply affecting collection that navigates the liminal spaces of love, loss, and reinvention. www.brokensleepbooks.com/product-page...

Artists report on the inner life…every piece of art, every performance, is a state-of-the-soul address. We cannot afford to ignore our inner lives, our imaginations, for when we do, we become capable of extreme cruelty and destruction. —Jane Kenyon

Apparently a bunch of award noms are open? I am out of love with the process of soliciting for awards but will remind you that I put out one (1) single story in 2024 which was broadly judged as "delightful" and would like for you to enjoy it as well. www.sundaymorningtransport.com/p/margeaux-p...

“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.” JFK Expecting everyone to speak the same, look the same, believe the same, think the same, act the same is an absurdity, never to be achieved. The individual voice must be frightening. Politically, we've lost our way.

Internet searching to answer a technical question produces a strange kinship or connection. 17 years ago in another part of the world, another person stuck on the same problem typed its description into some bulletin board, where they also received no reply

Instead of being worried about "trigger warnings" in literature, every news story arrives with a trigger. The world feels triggering right now. So how do we find joy? www.jenknox.net/p/on-joy-and... #5amwritersclub #writesky #blog #joy #radicalacts #amwriting #writingcommunity

Institutions we’ve mistakenly, lazily relied on- religious, govt, media, medical- for ‘truth’, guidance, hope & comfort etc haven’t 'become' corrupted; they were rarely trustworthy. Gotta do our own work, learn to better trust our own #intuition #art #artsky #drawing: SILENCE BE MY CHURCH, 2012
