This was such a beautiful
I reviewed @katiefar's memoir-in-poems for @synapsisjournal. If you haven't read this book, get thee to a library!
Not this year’s winner of the @tseliotprize, but a woman grateful for the experience of a lifetime and for the many beautiful poets she got to meet!
If your New Year’s countdown is not as lyric and exciting as this, I don’t wanna know about it. From the beautiful I THINK WE’RE ALONE NOW by @ginpitnancy
Happy Belated Gotcha Day to our two boys, Leo the ginger Maine Coon with ear flames and Mishka the tabby Siamese the shape of a bowling ball. @ilya_poet & I were 9 months without feline company; 9 months too long. They are absolute love and joy and cat hair in my mouth.
So grateful for this brilliant review of Standing in the Forest of Being Alive by @godelievedebree , part of the Young Critics Program, a collaboration between the TS Eliot Prize & The Poetry Society's Young Poet's Network. Looking forward to her career!

I spent a lot of time resting in the shade of this beautiful cathedral in Odesa. I’m so grateful for this international solidarity. Like Mr. Rogers said, look for the helpers. Putin seeds entropy: May he be destroyed by it.
Italy will help Ukraine restore the Transfiguration Cathedral in Odesa and other cultural monuments destroyed by the Russians.
"Italy, which has unique restoration competence on a global scale, is ready to reconstruct the cathedral and other Ukrainian cultural values," PM Giorgia Meloni said.
The Italian delegation headed by Lia Quartapelle Procopio and the Italian Ambassador to Ukraine, Pier Francesco Zazo have already inspected the city's historic center, which was affected by the Russian attack.
Italy restores history 🙏🙏🙏
