Reposted by Misha SolomonJade Wallace (they/them) @nycterosea.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I love this concept for a folio: unpublished poems you removed from your forthcoming book. For me, that was "All Night I Stare at the TV Screen." I wrote it after weeks watching & reading about 'Jennifer Fairgate' & the strange phenomenon of fixating on the deaths of strangers. 162
Misha Solomon @mishasolomon.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Thanks to @manahil.bsky.social for asking me to contribute to this fun folio, made up of poems that didn’t quite make it into recent collections. My poem, “Puppy Sounds,” is a haibun-ish thing that is part of a suite of poems I wrote when my dog, Mugcake, was a puppy. 176
