I'm inspired by #thesealeychallenge to read more this August. Even if I don't hit double digits, I appreciate the opportunity to focus more on poetry (even though I'm sure my sci-fi/romance novels will miss me).

Loved this evocative, brutal, and tender poetry collection ALL THE BLOOD INVOLVED IN LOVE by Maya Marshall. So glad I came across @haymarketbooks.org at #AWP25 ❤️

Poetry collection book. ALL THE BLOOD INVOLVED IN LOVE by Maya Marshall.

On the cover, a Black woman in a white lace dress wears a fluffy white sheep mask/head over her head. She is tenderly taking care of a black wig on an ironing board. Both textures are fluffy. The lighting is dim and pensive.

“We pull the dog away from the bleaching skeleton / but examine stages of decay // up close. We keep our bodies here too, on the shore. / The lake turns the skin…” Happy to see @versedaily.bsky.social feature this poem by my friend @rachelhnelson.bsky.social www.versedaily.org/2025/ourbodi...
