El gatito is out of the bag!🥰I couldn’t have dreamt of something like this for my first book. Thank you, mil gracias from my deepest heart to @EduardoCCorral for believing in this book enough to open this door for me. Thank you to @POETSorg for your incredible generosity.

So thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the amazing Matthew Goodwin and @sdr_arts on the *Not Your Papi’s Utopia* anthology! It was such a rewarding experience. Can’t wait for everyone to start exploring these alternate utopias!

Part of white supremacy culture is the worship of the written word. Reading as credential, as class marker, as indicator of productivity and taste. Yes, this sets up poor, disabled, caregiving students to fail. But more importantly, the written word structures reality and time.

Good stuff so far. I especially like how she plays with structure, even within the same poem.

I had fun talking with @paulsemel about form, theme, and structure in THE BLUE MIMES, and about the pivotal role my cats and turtles played in putting the book together. 💙🩵
Back when I wrote #poems, it was always as a way of dealing with something. Which is what Sara Daniele Rivera is doing as well in her new #poetry collection, "The Blue Mimes." To find out what, and why, check out this exclusive interview.

Poem by Sara Daniele Rivera.
(from The Blue Mimes)
ALT Poem for a Scorpion Child Begin: a memory from before you can remember much, the kind recounted to you so often you've constructed it for yourself. A woman came to the door. You watched behind your father's legs. She wanted to sell your house and you cried until she left. Admit it: you were the child who cried too much. You lacked a layer. You wanted to be a scorpion but you weren't a scorpion. You were whatever an exoskeleton protects. Soft interiors.
Honored to be included here!

@sdr_arts Spent today reading your beautiful collection, The Blue Mimies, with your generous notes, drawings, and willfulness. Still breathing alongside the last page and final poem where you write,
I am continuing past you.
The changes are changes
I have to catalog.
Excited to share three poems from THE BLUE MIMES over at The Commuter! 🚂❣️
“You were born with song in your mouth, a mastery of birds. Inevitable migratory life.”
In this week’s Commuter, read “Naufragios,” “Sonnet to Sleep Paralysis,” and “Birdsongs,” three poems by Sara Daniele Rivera (@sdr_arts).
