from GLITTER UP THE DARK by Sasha Geffen

said fellow poet Ed Friedman. In a subculture where women aspired to hyperfemininity and many men reached out to join them, Smith's masculine affect stood out. Her masculinity was so concrete that the gay poet Allen Ginsberg once tried to cruise her at a Manhattan Automat, thinking she was an effeminate boy.

that's why I put this in the book too. it's a quote I first became aware of from the other workshop friend. we will never speak to each other again; and, I will love them & miss them for the rest of my life, bc of what Mira said here, in the last years of her life it's very early love your sisters

an epigraph page in a book. text reads:

“Anyway, it's very early. Love your sisters, all of
us, and all of them. It will pay you dividends in
love for yourself and in understanding that you're
something special in this world.”

-Mira Fucking Bellwether (1982-2022)

in August of last year I posted a Jack Spicer poem (scroll up from her reply and read it, it's good) on here and Nori replied with this a month later she was gone that's why I put this in the book

for Brighid. love you, bitch.

thinking about this one today, given the state of the skyline

the cruel and the proud

they’re calling for death
to all the faith-breakers
and the merchants of desolation

to every petty tyrant
making their mortality
into everyone else’s problem

to every tech billionaire
and every parent who preferred
a dead kid to a queer one

to the cruel and the proud
and everyone who could’ve helped
but didn’t

but most of all
to every single
motherfucker

who told you
you were hard
to love
