If you like what we’ve been doing for women-identifying writers since 2016… Please nominate us for the Elevate Prize. We’re self-funded and grassroots. We’re now a 501(c)(3) & registered for Give Miami Day. It would be a game changer! Head over to IG @elevateprize & tag us in comments. 🙏🏼😊😘

This one by Ruth Hoberman in @swwim.bsky.social took my breath this morning

Many thanks to @swwim.bsky.social for resharing this little love poem from their archives... www.swwim.org/swwimeveryda...

Read this short, powerful poem! "If I had a long, sticky tongue, I’d trap horrible things: rich people & bad weather. Consume everything you hate…" swwim.org/swwimeveryda... #poem #poetry @swwim.bsky.social

Now in our eighth season! And officially a 501(c)(3). As I sit here on my first day at someone else's residency, I can't help but think about how far we have come.

The co-founders of @swwim.bsky.social, at our host The Betsy-South Beach hotel, where we offer residencies and readings to female-identifying poets.

Thank you @jillkitchen.bsky.social for inviting us here!
