Replying to @cadancabrera
And here is my poem that I published in @quiet433, my little reminder of the struggles that we go through. Queer and trans folks exist: we always have, and always will. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💕 fourthreethree.org/blog/four…

A Guatemalan cowboy, a father who beat up the sky for his daughter, and the voice of a young girl floating in the river. We're kind of obsessed with these gorgeous, heartbreaking and tender poems from @tawniiecastro. fourthreethree.org/blog/guat…

"My mother had passed away a year earlier. Life seemed to shudder and then collapse around me. The pieces of my youth surrendered to the sadness of death." @Writer1990Mark reflects on how #TheBlackParade held him through his mother's death. fourthreethree.org/blog/a-co…
Congratulations to our EIC on his first book! This is why he's been a slow ass with responding to your submissions. 😁
So...🚨BIG NEWS🚨 My first book is officially under contract with @DukePress! JUGGLING is part memoir, part criticism, part history. In short, I set out to write the saddest book on the subject, and I think I succeeded. Look for it next spring! Also, it has gorgeous images.

Thank you, 433, for publishing my New Year's Day poem!
