Yes to every word of this article! "I want her celebrated in history books. I want her enshrined in bronze. Madame Pelicot for the Médaille d’honneur. Madame Pelicot for the Nobel Peace Prize. Madame Pelicot for Time Person of the Year and every other honour that can be bestowed on her." 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for celebrating my 13th birthday with me—what a fuss the media made over my private party.

The World Has Need of You by Ellen Bass Here I am, suspended between the sidewalk and twilight, the sky dimming so fast it seems alive. What if you felt the invisible tug between you and everything? getlitanthology.org/poemdetail/7...

Creatives told to do it "just for the love of the thing" is utter bollocks. It's exploitative gaslighting. One more way corporations strip-mine people to maximise profits. There's a reason when we started @bonabooks.bsky.social we decided not to do it if we couldn't pay creatives pro wages.

Two things that make me very happy. The Poets on the Coast; A Weekend Retreat for Women September 5-7 but registration is filling up now AND that Blue Atlas, out from the spectacular Red Hen Press, is getting a lot of love! #poetry #poetrycomm #poems
