#JewishPoetryMonth (i.e., Shvat) is over, so now is a good time to ask:

What Jewish poetry did you read that you enjoyed? Did you buy any books? Did you preorder anything?

What about poetry that's not Jewish, but you'd want to bring to the attention of Jewish readers?

#Poetry #Jewish #Mazeldon #Poems

Our big #JewishPoetryMonth sale is going to end soon with Shvat drawing to a close. Let's finish in style!

We have a huge book pile.

📚 1 like - 1 book rec 📚 from our 100+ title backlist. (Not restricted to poetry either!)

+comment with your preferences for your personal rec!

"You need to rest, said the people who also said
this timeline needs fixing
not tomorrow, not at your leisure, not
when you’re rested: but yesterday and today and sideways
in all the multiverses looping upon themselves
like a curse that a thousand fix-it fics won’t fix"
- From "Iron Burns Out" by @rblemberg, in @strangehorizons

"Swallowing the world
spitting it out whole.

Smelling the light
not knowing it."

Speaking of #JewishPoetryMonth deals: It looks like our monopolistic friends in Seattle are having a flash sale on some of our recent titles, with several selling for around $5 each.

If you've been meaning to experiment with poetry*, now's your chance! https://amzn.to/3Xun8at

* Note: claims on behalf of poetry experimentation have not been validated by the FDA. Offer void where illegal.

"There’s a fire inside
and I am escaping to tell you
with my own absurd belongings
clutched to my useless nipples, words
like the milk I’ll never give."

This is going to be an #introduction thread, similar to what we had on Twitter.

First and foremost: the Jewish Poetry Project is an imprint of
@BenYehudaPress, so we'll talk a lot about our own titles.

But we're also planning on talking about many other things!

Let's take a look...
