I have a new prose poem "I Blame the Planets" in the beautiful new DMQ Review. The issue also features an in memoriam featured of @jpdancingbear.bsky.social's work, along with poems from @renee-emerson.bsky.social, @sarahmillswrites.bsky.social & other great writers. www.dmqreview.com/vorreyerf26

I Blame the Planets,

though I don’t understand them, even poor relegated Pluto, who has vanished from the old mnemonic memory song so that now My Very Educated Mother Just Serves Us Noodles instead of Nine Pizzas. No matter. Astrologers say that those bulbous spheres are at fault for all my troubles. Who am I to argue when my car’s battery dies beneath a flock of shitting pigeons on a cold day and the windows fog from the steam of my breath while I wait for a tow truck? I curse those damn globules of gas and rock until I remember how lovely Earth looks from space, its oceans and cloud garments, its swirling. I can’t stay mad for long, at least at Earth. Or Mercury. I wish it would clap back, rain asteroids on our heads every time someone says retrograde to explain their misfortunes. It’s not Mercury’s fault, hung on the sky like an ornament, gazing out at its backyard of stars. I understand what it’s like—to take the blame, to have no voice.

happy #smallpoemsunday! 💜 feel free to share small poems you wrote or ones you love by other poets :) here’s one from my first book, Light-Up Swan (@ornithopterpress.bsky.social 2021)~

LAVENDER TOWN

You tell me a spell to get the ghosts
off my back. It works for a while.

Every laundromat in town is hidden
by signs that say closed, moved, new

location. To be warm and clean and
have time for song is a big secret.

Be careful / not to look at it too long.

Katherine Gibbel’s book Little Sound, which is mostly black except for her name in a white serif typeface, and concentric white, red, and mauve vaguely circular abstract blobs of color with the book title in the middle.

Here’s the whole thing.

Question
BY MAY SWENSON

Body my house
my horse my hound
what will I do
when you are fallen

Where will I sleep
How will I ride
What will I hunt

Where can I go
without my mount
all eager and quick
How will I know
in thicket ahead
is danger or treasure
when Body my good
bright dog is dead

How will it be
to lie in the sky
without roof or door
and wind for an eye

With cloud for shift
how will I hide?

Just finished _Paladin’s Grace_ by @tkingfisher.com. I have never laughed, cried, shouted, muttered, and laughed again so hard in all my life. This author is a gem and must be treasured forever. If I’m ever going to read anything cis/het romance, it’s going to need to be like this. 10/10. No notes.

The cover of Paladins Grace by T. Kingfisher. Cover is black with purple, blue, and green swirls. There is a sword in the middle over a cauldron. Skulls, mice, poison symbols, knitting needles and yarn, and a ferret are blended into the swirls. Text at the bottom reads “Hugo award winning author T. kingfisher.”

putting out books is ritually humiliating (you have to keep talking about them, it never feels enough, failure feels baked in) but every now and then you get a review that makes this whole "subjecting the art you make for your own needs & meaning to the judgement of the world" thing feel worth it

4 star review of FEAST OF THE PALE LEVIATHAN

Enormous is the word I would use for this quite engrossing and epic novel. Yes, it has a lot of science fiction and fantasy elements, which has never really been that attractive to me, however, I’ve always been attracted to uniquely creative writers of fiction. And this book fits the bill. The story never stopped expanding, resplendent in its magnitude, holding so many aspects that were unlike anything I had read before. So imaginative and uncommon, leading me into incredibly unfamiliar surroundings. An excellent sensation, by the way. I do have to say the ending was a bit of a stumble for me, leaving me with an unresolved and incomplete feeling. That said, it’s singular and exceptional enough for me to definitely recommend.
