Here’s a poem by Nicole Steinberg for #VerseThursday. (I’m still in the weeds with projects, so I haven’t been here much. When will I learn not to take so much on?!)

Let the 5yo sleep in because we are having a snow day (its own fiasco). But this 100% guarantees he came downstairs by himself while I was trying to rewrite a sex scene.

Maureen is also reading with Sasha Dugdale & Rodrigo Toscano for Seam Poetry on Sunday!

Alas, the only site they use is FB, where the Zoom link will be posted before the event:

„Literatur”-Event von SEAM: a poetry reading series am Sonntag, Februar 12 2023

“Maureen Thorson's essays are adroit and aphoristic, resonant and recursive, and stealthily instructive in the ways of the world. These generous and deeply considered writings are exemplary in their use of control and volatility, offering a telescopic window into a vast and fascinating mind.” —Natalie Shapero

ON DREAMS, essays by Maureen Thorson. Preorder sale starts tomorrow at bloofbooks.com.

She’s unsatisfied
the wild night shift
brings out coyotes
I know a blue song
when I recognize it
prize of conviction
a bovine torment
I hear heartbreak

…again, for all the support you have all shown for Bloof’s wacky lil projects this past year, and for Hi Water Press’s inky things too! We have more subscribers than ever (just 5 of those left, by the way) and the individual chaps have been selling so fast it left my head spinning.

Next up are a paperback by Maureen Thorson (On Dreams) and a chap by Nicole Steinberg (dear Elsie / seltzer). Happy holidays to all who celebrate and cozy winter vibes all around.

Love,
@shanna & the poets of Bloof
