Staticky it resonates. Stickily it moans. Sturdily it propagates. Silently it roams. Be still, oh dream plastic of our very own image, oh nightmare plastic of our very own dawn. ~ A Plastic Theatre by @katieschaag.bsky.social Read by Amrita Gupta. #poetryinparks #poem

It has taken me too long to post about the arrival of these four beautiful handmade books from @the-ethelzine.bsky.social Hybrid, experimental, devastating-wondrous-thought provoking work from @rfredekenter.bsky.social @katieschaag.bsky.social Jenny Irish & Ali C (who I can’t find here!)

A piece from Katie Schaag’s upcoming chapbook Seal/Woman: erasure of Ronald Lockley's novel Seal-Woman (1974)
V. CHOKED
with salt water
a corpse
Gasping
the surface
flung me
wild glorious ermine throne
with a roar
I stumbled
to receive
those blind moments
swallowed
my fate
the silence
the spent wave
young seals have a wail
that is almost human

I'm thrilled to be part of @revue-esse.bsky.social 113: Plastics! My essay “Queer Femme Plastic Aesthetics: Plasticity & Performativity” draws on Nicole Seymour's *Glitter* & Lex M. Lancaster's *Dragging Away* to analyze affective plastic materiality in Sky Heyn Cubacub's & Tia Halliday's artwork. 💖

It's such an honor to see my writing materialized within Sara Lefsyk's beautiful hand-drawn & hand-stitched art objects for Ethel Press! 😍 This layered tactile palimpsestic vellum chapbook so resonantly embodies my ecofeminist erasure poetry project SEAL / WOMAN in concept & aesthetic. 💙🦭🧜‍♀️✨💙
