U of SC's Fall Literary Festival is more series than festival, but it's a good one. (I'm not an organizer, so I'm not bragging.) Julia Elliott kicks it off next week, and you should absolutely come out for this most recent winner of the Carol Shields Prize. sc.edu/about/office...

Rejection is a normal part of being a writer, and something we must all must accept with grace... Unless it happens to me, of course, bc then it's actually completely ridiculous and unfair and uncalled for and heart-rending and tragic and probably totally a conspiracy to crush the spirit of Evie!!!!

“You’ve got long arms for your height. Everyone tells you so. Good for hugging and pulling down rebounds in pickup basketball.” Read “Catcher” from @mcrane12.bsky.social’s debut story collection, Perverts.

“Catcher”

You’ve got long arms for your height. Everyone tells you so. Good for hugging and pulling down rebounds in pickup basketball. Even better, you soon realize, for catching kids and throwing them back…

AUTHOR OF ALL ILL Theories of Performance @divinetailor.bsky.social here i am, pry me open Grief Slut @evelynberrywriter.bsky.social unholy fruit Starving the Wolf @raynealarcio.bsky.social Gender Flytrap Time Travel Is Easy @mimulus.bsky.social

Trans Rights Readathon: favorites from tommy wyatt blake

march 17-31

AUTHOR OF ALL ILL is a pledge to Satan. At the same time, it is both an ode to and an elegy for the author’s own falling

Theories of Performance emerges from continued engagement with the issues living in and through a queer, trans, sick/Disabled man’s body

nine months of outpouring & stopped & erupting emotion—six months of pre top surgery poetry & 3 months of post-op (here i am, pry me open)

an examination of the queer lineage of pleasure, grief, and resilience in the American South (Grief Slut)

(unholy fruit) these poems, both visual and text based, want us to sit in the visceral experience of finding oneself corporeal, animal, in life, sex, and love

(Gender Flytrap) an authentic portrayal of the constant hurt that a trans experience in a toxic, hegemonic culture entails

(Starving the Wolf) a reckoning with online intimacy, grooming, masculinity, and coming of age in the Internet Age

(Time Travel Is Easy) read this book to project yourself to the past where the earth is vibrant, and to the future where you are fossilized with what all came before you

during march 17-31, you can get a free ebook of two of the listed titles—reach out to kith books for HERE I AM, PRY ME OPEN by atlas st. cloud and unholy fruit by dre levant.

check publishers’ socials or websites to find these books

Here’s the thing: when you’re a poet you don’t have to be cool. You’re a weird little freak and you make art. People who are cool wish they were poets.

In a just world transition medicine would be considered a miracle because of its extremely high rate of success for those who need it, but even outside of that context it should be fucking astounding in what it reveals about how much the body can evolve at a physical & biological level.

I forgot my library book at home so didn’t get to finish the last 30 pages of the book I’m reading during my lunch break (where I work at the library) so I also borrowed the Libby copy to finish it on my phone 😈 Also Mac Crane’s new book is very good!

People make fun of polyamory, and I get it, it can sounds silly from the outside, but damn if being poly has not allowed me to be a more loving, honest, and open person. Love is the best things human ever conjured.

Was asked to submit to a lit mag edited by undergrad students and I sent in some sonnets. Their “copy edits” completely mar the rhythm of the poem with unnecessary additional words and CHANGED all the line breaks so they seemed totally random…. Like… kinda audacious…
