“Today’s poem speaks to how we track our days and how easy it is to get lost in the day’s rigamarole,” shares Ada Limón in today’s encore episode. Read “Bruised Peaches” by @bronwentate.bsky.social: bit.ly/43jMJIq

We loved hearing you read all of With My Back to the World from start to finish! The lines, like Agnes Martin's, are clear and packed with intensity-it was wonderful to see the images while relaxing into your sustained read. @bronwentate.bsky.social and I were happy to host you!

Now that this place is hopping, it might be a good time to remind #poets that our MFA application deadline is approaching here at UW-Madison! #mfa #creativewriting

New newsletter! bronwentate.substack.com/p/the-first-...

How to Do Avoidance Club
Gather with one or more supportive people who are committed to confronting avoided things in a way that will move forward and release shame.

The Steps:

Name something you’ve been avoiding and say why it feels hard.

Decide to either take one step closer to completing this thing (it can be a very small step!) or delete it from your to-do list FOREVER.

Act! Either delete the thing forever or take that small step forward. Then maybe another step. A friend can help! Sometimes things are easier to do exactly because they aren’t OURS and we don’t have the accumulated weight of having avoided them. You can stick with one thing or just take that first step and move on to something else.

Schedule a next meeting when you will pick things back up. Make a plan either A) to take an action in between and report back for encouragement or B) not to move on things (and not to feel bad about it!).

My 11-yo: "Can I have a carrot—even if I don't share it? Oh! oh! How about this one? Can I have a shallot—it just might cleanse my palate?"

It's PUB DAY! We are delighted to be the US publisher for these two completely BRILLIANT and totally ORIGINAL books. Both novels. Both long (for us). Both from award-winning writers (one in The Netherlands, the other in New Zealand) who happen to be lovely people. Please help us spread the word!

A person holds up two books. The one on the left has differently colored stripes and is THE LONG FORM by Kate Briggs. The one on the right shows a blue water wave and is THE NEW ANIMALS by Pip Adam.
