NEW | Gustav Parker Hibbett reviews Salvage: Readings from the Wreck by Dionne Brand. "Part of the joy Salvage gives me is in Brand’s centring of the perspective of a ‘reader like [her]’, which returns me to the making of my own reading self." Read the full review: stingingfly.org/review/salva...

Penguin Random House today suddenly fired Lisa Lucas. She's actually one of the pillars in publishing as a Black woman who holds it down to get writers of color & women published & a huge deal, which is why this is in the New York Times. So this is a widely slammed move for diversity in publishing.

High Jump as Icarus Story — Just inside the track’s concentric / circus rings, at the football field’s / head, is where I learned to wear / the gaze of other people like a queen / wears feathers. Meets with everybody / watching were the only times I ever / over-performed, always sharper / than in practice, always stronger, / faster, higher. I took this luck / as destiny, a sign from heaven / that my being here was meant / to be, that every step I took / in service of my flight was / blessed. I was going to leave / this self someday, construct / myself a new one in a world / where I wasn’t so constricted. / The Gods were mine to challenge, / mine to rearrange. Picture me vain / with self-mythology, sweeping, / like the all-commanding breath / of spring, across red polyurethane, / ….
