531 followers · 503 posts · Server zirk.usIs anyone else kinda on here, kinda off? I find myself anxious about (re)turning to Mastodon these days, then going on twitter and finding myself feeling empty. I want to have a home someplace as my author/editor-self, but I guess I need to be more intentional about finding my footing/community around here. Anyone else feeling this way?

507 followers · 500 posts · Server zirk.usThe BEST #poetry I’ve ever read has come from #smallpress venues. We as a #literarycommunity are more willing to take risks and celebrate ppl no one’s ever heard of. The NYT etc. are so beholden to names, palatability, and conventionality, that they kill poetry all on their own.

502 followers · 493 posts · Server zirk.us#bookishadvent day 22, #smallpress edition is Heavenly Breakfast by the incomparable Samuel r Delany. This book-length essay frankly, humorously discusses queer communal living in 1967-68, and approaches its subject matter with a radically anticarceral, #antipsychiatry, and youth-liberation perspective.

I picked it up on a whim while in high school, and it transformed my relationship with gender(lessness) early in my journey as a trans person. It still means the world to me.

#bookishadvent day 18, #smallpress edition is “Seventeen Names for Skin” by Roland Blackburn! This short horror novel darkly satirizes the stereotypical illness narrative with a strong dose of body horror to match!

485 followers · 469 posts · Server zirk.usOkay #LiteraryCommunity i'm a little emotional right now because a lyric essay I got pubbed in Honey Literary got the close-read treatment over at essay daily, and sol kim, the author of this piece, was incredibly generous and insightful and made me feel grateful to be a writer in ways old and new. I am so fucking grateful to share my words with the world and sometimes get even better ones back.

485 followers · 467 posts · Server zirk.us#bookishadvent day 17, #smallpress edition is "Vanishing Monuments" by John Elizabeth Stintzi , a trans #canlit novel published by Arsenal Pulp Press! Stintzi expertly weaves multiple narratives to construct the memory palace at the fulcrum of the novel, asking what it means to live, grieve, haunt, and be haunted by a past that won't go away.
I had the honor of interviewing JES about the book back in 2020!

This insightful, magical maze of a book is unlike anything I've read before, and equally, is a stunning entry into a long tradition of books-as-cities-as stories-as languages. I can't recommend it enough.

475 followers · 460 posts · Server zirk.us#bookishadvent , #smallpress edition day 13 is “Everything Saved Will be Last,” a #poetry #chapbook by my friend and writing buddy Isaac Pickell. Pickell is a complex and lyrical poet whose work examines the nexus of race, migration, and Madness, and this chap from #BlackLawrencePress is a truly amazing debut.

Plett is one of my all-time favorite authors, and writes stunning trans fiction. This book, from Arsenal Pulp Press, weaves interlocking but distinct stories across a novel-length manuscript — truly a brilliant study in (trans-)form as well as content.
