A good day to repost @darlaida
essay!
"Poets are prone to grandiose declarations, such as “Poetry saved my life.” We’re not lying, but we’re often not telling the whole truth. In my case at least, I mean something less abstract, more active." nailedmagazine.com/features/…
Hi, everyone. The artist/poet known as Marronage is one of my students at Temple, an incredible poet and person. Can you can help send him to @SundressPub this summer? Every little bit helps. Thanks for considering!

Asking for help isn’t easy. Especially when you’re in public life.
What @JohnFetterman did is brave, I wish him and his family the absolute best. I hope it spurs other people to reach out for help.

Imagine investing this much money and work into trying to prevent vulnerable kids from feeling seen and valued by their school.

Finish the year with a donation in support of necessary poetry! Every little bit helps—even $10. 🌈
GFB truly needs your help to end the year strong. Nonprofit publishers like us are feeling the pinch. Whatever you can donate is appreciated & imperative. Can you donate today? We need you. Thank you.
