Posting acceptances and publications only is a distorted reflection of reality. Over the past few days, I had about a dozen+ form Rs. Poetry packets help, but doesn't make it easier. I only subbed 4 times this month bc... meh. Didn't write either bc... meh? It's never easy, never assume it is.

I've been quiet about this one until I had some definite news, but this book is available now!! It's a book that's both taken a long time to come to fruition and a whirlwind of a rush at the same time. Published by Island of Wak-Wak, the same as my poetry chapbook from two years ago.
cover art, text reads "Daniel Ausema, The Fall of the City of Bells"; images from the public domain shows monks pulling the ropes on a line of bells in an old building

This piece of resistance by Rich Larson takes compliance to a whole new level! While resistance takes centre stage, it also says something about the inevitability of this ultimate fate. The path of conquest, destruction, and overpowering greed is one of self fulfilling prophecy. #resist
