New member book! Winner of the 2024 Concrete Wolf Chapbook Award, Tumor Moon is a collection of poems that interrogate life in the uncertain aftermath of a child’s medical diagnosis.

The theme for this year’s World Oceans Day is “Wonder: Sustaining What Sustains Us.” The day celebrates the beauty and the mystery of the ocean while reminding us that we need to care for it. As the UN reminds us, “[W]e are taking more from the ocean than can be replenished.
We need to work together to create a new balance with the ocean that no longer depletes its bounty but instead restores its vibrancy and brings it new life.” 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 📷 #FAWCO #EnvironmentTeam #WorldOceansDay #Biodiversity

The recognition of this international day aims to raise awareness of violence, discrimination, and repression of LGBTQ+ communities worldwide. In the words of the UN, “[t]his day is now celebrated in more than 130 countries and is officially recognised by several States,
and international institutions. Reflecting on progress over the past two decades is indeed cause for celebration. We call on States to uphold the inherent dignity of all persons, without distinction...”
At an individual level, let us spread kindness and mutual respect among all people, without distinction. 📷📷 #FAWCO #DEIB #LivingTogetherinPeace #InternationalDayAgainstLGBTQIADiscrimination
