A book I reviewed, stevie redwood's A N G E R O U S B O D I E S / A N G E R O D E S, is featured on this #DisabilityPrideMonth reading list. An excerpt from my review for @paraselenemag.bsky.social :
Description of the neighbor’s bright-eyed extermination subtly critiques the fascist mindset’s reliance on having out-groups to malign. In this sense, what makes bodies dangerous is that none are immune to fascist overtures—that every nice neighbor risks becoming a predator, wittingly or not, if they are sufficiently disconnected from the realities of other subjects.

Woof okay, finally off work and not trying to sneak "yays" in-between customers. So happy that this poem found a home at @paraselenemag.bsky.social (and that they included a recording — always a fan of that). It feels appropriate paraselenemagazine.com/2025/05/17/h...

In case you missed it: this new workshop will focus on the analysis of what makes poetry work stand out with “wow” factor and leads to publication and readership and hopefully we can employ some of these techniques to our own work. Come and join us! Starts June 7.
