Black and Indigenous women poets, DM me links to your work. I’m on a poetry selection committee and I want to lift you!

Esp. Queer and disabled Black and Indigenous women. Esp. esp. trans Black and Indigenous women.

I don’t care about your resume or publication history or where you are in the world. I just want to read your words.

This is also like a year out, so don’t wait for a contact. I’ll just be adding your name/info to a proposed reading list.

tumblewalk

whether the earth turns
or the sky above
moves for them
little matters to most

but at least the first
far star as our star fades
seen on our rocky walk
cuts the bright noise of day
with its own
little whole of light
in the great roll around us
