waltzgoose

By Shawna Stoltzfoos

it is i, shawna

Shawna writes in a way that makes you wonder why you never thought about pairing this word with that one. Everything is poetry, from a hopeful carrot shoulder to numb buttcheeks, or the way her daughter looks at cows.

Letters from the Bottom of the Lake

By Jes

Letters float into your inbox however fast the current takes them there. The occasional paid letter for people who feel like supporting my writing may also make its way to you!

Jes lets us into their whimsical world and haunted prose, spending time with the parts of themselves they keep hidden, revealing their ghosts and goblins within. In reading these letters, I am reminded of my own soft haunted bits, sitting at the bottom of the lake waiting to be seen.

What's Here Now?

By Abigail Bruley

a newsletter about mindfulness and the lack thereof.

I love Abigail's writing. Her newsletter gives permission to be incomplete, imperfect, confused, and trying. Her first-hand experience with a traumatic brain injury brings a perspective that makes you second guess your assumptions about how to live mindfully.

[A Scaffold]

By Nina Perlman

essays, images, considerations. mostly things I'm looking at.

Nina writes about being a human in the world today in such a heartbreakingly poetic way. Every time I read an essay of hers, I am reminded of the importance of art, photography, writing, the internet, and the ways we perceive each other & ourselves.
