◆Burnside, Alyse, 2025, "The Concrete Poetics of Mary Ellen Solt", Nation, March 25, 2025, (thenation.com/article/cultur…).
―❝Her writing toed the line between fine art and poetry, asking readers to think of language as a multidimensional tool of communication and politics.❞
I have an essay in the latest issue of @swamp_pink, perhaps the most personal essay I’ve published. It’s about my childhood horse Shirley, who taught me all I know about love and losing love. It’s about growing up gay in Iowa, horsegirls and straight girls, and me.
“A barn at daybreak is eerily quiet, a shallow rustling of limbs, hooves against the lime foundation, birds fucking in the rafters, slow knickers, horses gently grinding their teeth...” Read Alyse Burnside’s (@comicsanstorm) story “Horse Loose” today at buff.ly/4eo2H7X

This week's post of ALL MY DEAD PITCHES is dedicated to David Wojnarowicz, on what would've been his birthday weekend.
it’s David Wojnarowicz’s birthday this weekend and Alyse wrote a beautiful pitch about him, love, and heartbreak. I think of him often. @comicsanstorm

“Cattle graze in unpeopled fields, and in one, three Staffordshire Draft horses stood obediently, harnessed to a plow, as though posing for a painting.”

I had the honor of reviewing SLEEPLESS for @thenation. A beautiful book about insomnia, hyper vigilance , and the ephemera of sleep. Thanks @krevinlorenzo for editing. 💤
