An ob-gyn and nurse-midwife are gearing up to open an all-trimester abortion clinic near Washington, D.C. They aim to provide abortions later in pregnancy and serve women from states with bans. n.pr/3CNAXKK

‘Perhaps walking is pressing / one’s weight onto things / Perhaps to not walk / is to make things breathe / in the depth of their silence.’ This book is brilliant. As Kei Miller says ‘these poems are beautiful and gentle but the questions they raise are difficult and important’ – at Sheffield, England

Gnarled fingers of grans and nans who no longer
winnow, weave ancient designs into coiled baskets of pine,
sweet grass, bulrush and palmetto to hold the summer yield.

Never silenced unless in the company of strangers, singing
the stoic face, polite repose, polite, while dancing deep inside, polite
Mother of her world. Sister of myself.
When my song sings aloud again.
