“I wouldn't let the others know about this, but I would be everywhere, as I am right now, a thin tone like the wind, a sip of blue light” Beautiful poem here
Miranda shares such wonderful poems, and you should follow her. I’m adding a Stafford to her Stafford today. 🖤

Since reopening, we’ve been making an effort to solicit more original photography and artwork from our contributors. This painting comes from Dale Bridges and will accompany his short story, “The Strange Sad Ballad of Jimmy Sutton,” on Oct. 30 along with other great work 👀

Tyler is one of the sharpest essayists out there with a voice that is fun, seeking, reflective and not scared of plumbing experience. We’re big fans. Plus he’s a new dad and needs money for diapers.

Love Darwish. Thinking poetry—reading and writing it—changes our relationship with language and thus the world, the layers of reality we see, hear, contemplate. Changes our interface. And maybe that ripples in ways we can’t always track 🤔
I thought poetry could change everything, could change history and could humanize, and I think that the illusion is very necessary to push poets to be involved and to believe, but now I think that poetry changes only the poet. -- Mahmoud Darwish

I have sympathy & admiration for writers wrestling language to the page. Is it for fame, glory, or just to make existence bearable & meaningful? Whatever u got going, we’re open for submissions for our Dec. 4 issue. Probably a few weeks left till we close subs for the year. Scott

Any minimally honest person would acknowledge that this raid is a flagrant abuse of state power and the domestic authorities of DHS against one of Trump's most outspoken critics, right near an election. The scurrilous claims about @IlhanMN have never had any basis in fact or evidence. Omar has lived in the US for more than 30 years: longer than Melania Trump, or Sebastian Gorka, or Steve Hilton, or countless GOP luminaries. She's lived in the US since she was 13. She's been a US citizen for more than 25 years. This has as much to do with immigration enforcement as the Trump/Rubio policy of deporting people for the crime of criticizing Israel: which is to say, none at all. It's all about feeding the MAGA base something to excite them and, especially, persecuting one of the most vocal critics of Trump and Israel.
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
