I want to get into poetry (I've only read the ones we read in school and like, the type of poetry books they sell in urban outfitters) and you seem like the one on my dash who knows the most about it and you've written poetry books so I thought I would ask you for some beginner reqs. No need to answer if you don't want! Especially looking for Mad, queer, and/or feminist authors and/or subject matter.
this is where I was at a couple years ago! thanks for asking, i have lots of recs :)
the cheapest way to discover awesome new poetry is to look at lit mags online. of course, I'm partial to Stone of Madness, of which I'm managing editor; you can also find some explicitly Mad work I've curated here and here. Also –– and don't tell –– but I have Mad poetry linked on my site, which is here. Shhhh. It's Totally Not Me.
In terms of other magazines, I love Split Lip, Honey Literary, Bodega Mag, Whale Road Review, Foundry, and Palette Poetry.
There are also some that are specifically disability/Madness focused, including Stone of Madness, mentioned above, as well as Deaf Poets Society, Monstering, Wordgathering, Rogue Agent, and Sick.
As for individual poets! Definitely check out those in the curated folios I linked earlier. Here are some others to look up: Hieu Minh Nguyen, Eli Clare, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Kim Hyesoon, Kaveh Akbar, Bettina Judd, Erica Hunt, Joshua Jennifer Espinoza, Franny Choi, Tracy K Smith, Stacey Waite, Banu Kapil, Ari Banias, Shira Dentz, Precious Okoyomon, Danez Smith, and Tommy Pico. All of these fall under your queer/Mad/feminist guidelines, usually filling more than one! They also all have books out.
If you're still looking for a way to get into contemporary poetry from UO/commercial poetry, I rec starting with "Junk" by Tommy Pico –– great long poem that has tons of pop culture entrancepoints. Likewise for the poems in Split Lip Magazine.
I hope this helps!!

540 Local Elected Officials From All 50 States Urge Prez Trump to Import More Refugees to U.S.
Joe Biden has promised to make this happen, including taking in foreigners from terrorist hotspots around the world. In fact, Joe Biden was one of the original architects of the fraud-ridden refugee program that has destroyed neighborhoods across the U.S.
by Ann Corcoran
I told you here that the refugee industry was working on a letter to the President urging him to get the refugee flow into America moving again.
Yesterday they sent the letter with 540 signatories.
Says Amnesty International:
By signing this letter, these elected officials have joined together to voice their commitment to welcoming refugees in their communities and reviving the United States’ legacy as a leader in refugee resettlement.
I notice something missing from the letter. It avoids giving the President a number, but the industry has made it very clear!
They want 95,000 refugees to begin arriving on October first.
The President could make a decision this month on how many refugees might be invited to live in the US in FY2021. He could also legally set the ceiling at zero.
All of my posts on the topic are tagged FY2021.
Here are the signatories from yesterday. The list is handy for identifying those local elected officials who are changing America by changing the people.
I don’t know why the organizers think that these open borders advocates will hold any sway with the President, but they sure make it handy for you to identify the other side where you live. Target them for retirement when they come up for re-election!
(For a little additional fun, see last year’s list here.)
They say the list is bipartisan, but there is no indication of party affiliation. You will need to look through those listed in your state to see if Republicans are among those looking to import more poverty to your city.

Instead of Reading The Horse and His Boy, Try...
Anything from this list of recommendations for books that address race and racism with much more nuance, thoughtfulness, and appreciation for diverse viewpoints than C.S. Lewis’s The Horse and His Boy. Many of these are own voices; others demonstrate the kind of thorough and respectful research that C.S. Lewis severely neglects.

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Dani Olislav/Nguyen Stone-Smith
Characters: Dani Olislav, Nguyen Stone-Smith, Toby Williams
Additional Tags: shockingly not a crack fic, just me having no self control, He/Him Pronouns for Dani Olislav, They/Them Pronouns for Nguyen Stone-Smith, i don't make the rules, (i quite literally do), Late Night Conversations, Insecurity, Accents, they're so first gen student besties i love them, (maybe more than besties.), Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Pigs, Post-Case, Mentioned Charlie McCall, She/Her Pronouns for Charlie McCall, Female Charlie McCall, Male Dani Olislav, Sort of Male Nguyen Stone-Smith, yepppp, the thing with nguyen is that like. their thing with dani is Gay, but he/him isn't right for them, so i'm just using they/them :), I Can Do What I Want TM, mock trial genders are so weird anyway i can fuck around with it, Mentioned Dr. Calvin, Dani Olislav Drives a Toyota, Mutual Pining, god gave me the power to write and had to nerf that, by making me want to write things like this, i'm not entirely sure where this might go but hey!, there's no other content for this out there so i might as well post it, mentioned car accidents, Asian-American Character, Russian-American Character, POV Nguyen Stone-Smith, POV Dani Olislav, ignore that under my fandoms this is under some random mock trial case?, for some reason that's where the mock trial fandom tag leads and i can't fix it, i don't know who cameron skeeter is please ao3, Quote: It's pronounced "Win" with a very slight "n" sound in front., Interracial Relationship, Implied/Referenced Family Problems, Horniness, (very VERY mild so far), (like it’s so slight i promise nguyen is just gay), Mild Language, i don’t know dani says fuck, No beta we die like Rockie Kelso, Mentioned Toby Williams, They/Them Pronouns for Toby Williams, Trial Court, Flashbacks, Lawyers
Summary:
Months after the suit brought by Charlie McCall has come to an end, Dani Olislav and Nguyen Stone-Smith continue to work together. Can their historically tense professional relationship become anything more?
Even if you don’t know these characters (which most will not), I encourage you to read this especially if you already like my writing. The annoying Russian car guy and the friendly last-named farmer are both very simple to understand and very silly/important to me.

With a cursory glance, it’s easy to diminish “Who” as just Another Synthpop Song, a generic redundancy crafted in MUNA’s comfort zone.
But there’s a honed poignancy to the track found even in the minutia despite its lyrical clichés (“I thought your heart was stone,” “You sounded clear as a crystal”). The vulnerability in Gavin’s quavering voice during the first chorus as the production leaves her to fend off her emotions alone, the trepidation in the echoing synth kick like the beat of a heart waiting to be broken all over again, the resignation in the bridge when she smiles through the pain and croons, “It was like a dream to hear/ Such a sweet melody/ But I/ Knew it was not for me” – it’s all sewn together to create a bittersweet tapestry of yearning.
At the same time though, “Who” isn’t your usual break-up song carbon-copied from the works of Adele or Sam Smith. Beyond the stereotypical emotions of resentment and melancholy, MUNA’s lyrics are able to encapsulate the complexities of love, the need to bleed ourselves dry before we can truly achieve peace in the painful process we call closure:
“Every note was a lump in my throat/ But I knew I had to hear it all.”
And perhaps that’s the purpose of the second lead single from the band’s sophomore album Saves the World: That if we’re “committed to saving [ourselves]” and “becoming [our] own heroes,” as they’ve said in their Spotify bio, we must hurt ourselves in turning the page so that we can find even more beauty in the next chapter.
- Austin Nguyen

Alpha Centurion War: The Battle of the Andromeda Galaxy and the Battle of the Milky Way Galaxy
Kaimana Zhao Hokulani Ya Keal'i is a bisexual Chinese person of color Polynesian Hawaiian Indigenous Pasifika Atlantean Hybrid superheroine with power over earth, earthquakes, stone, & metal, and power over water, ice, snow, & frost. She is the Indigenous Pasifika woman of color wife of Cardinal Changeling or Scarlet Shapeshifter (Alexander Kana'i Mack Ryuu Francisco Makoa “Alex” Smith/Alexandria Ataahua Macy Haruka Francisca Kamalani “Lexi” Smith). Alexander Mack Smith/Alexandria Macy Smith was a Japanese Indigenous Colombian Polynesian Hawaiian Tongan Indigenous Pasifika Colombian Hispanic person of color who is a polyamorous genderfluid pansexual shapeshifter metamorph & changeling. Kaimana Zhao Hokulani Ya Keali’i was standing before the grave of her spouse and partner Alex/Lexi who died in the Battle of the Polaris System during the Alpha Centurion War. He/she/they died to save the planets, star systems, & galaxies from the Forces of Evil who came to subjugate the universe, multiverse, & omniverse with their colonialism, imperialism, neocolonialism, & occupation. Hokulani she had buried him/her/them in his/her/their home of Hawaii in a private ceremony with his/her/their clan and family. The planets, star systems, & galaxies had witnessed the death of a queer Indigenous Pasifika person of color superhero/superheroine. Everyone mourned the loss of the one known as the hero/heroine of the Battle of the Andromeda Galaxy and the Battle of the Milky Way Galaxy but nobody grieved more than Alexander’s/Alexandria’s Indigenous wives and women of color wives and his/her/their adoptive poc children Nathaniel “Nathan” Nguyen, Takeda Sato, and Maria Garcia Morales.

For the week of 24 June 2019
Quick Bits:
Action Comics #1012 keeps a number of plates spinning with the Invisible Mafia, Leviathan, and tying in events in Superman, while bringing back a character who we’ve not seen for some time in the DCU. Some great layouts and art from Szymon Kudranski and Brad Anderson.
| Published by DC Comics
Age of X-Man: X-Tremists #5 is the explosive conclusion to this mini from Leah Williams, Georges Jeanty, Roberto Poggi, Jim Charalampidis, and Clayton Cowles. We get Jubilee’s perspective on the end, as they all collectively remember what came before, what was taken from them, and the nightmare that they’ve been placed in and forced to participate. Damn good stuff.
| Published by Marvel
Amazing Spider-Man #24 is a lot of Peter avoiding dealing with things in a rational adult manner and some weird stuff with Mysterio and the new villain who has been haunting the series for a while. My guess is that it’s Ned Leeds, but his true identity is still hidden for the moment. Pretty good for a buffer issue.
| Published by Marvel
Angel #2 is another entertaining issue from Bryan Edward Hill, Gleb Melnikov, Gabriel Cassata, and Ed Dukeshire. There’s another nice split as we see a bit of Angel’s past as he reforges a slayer as his “axe” and then a dive into the current evil plaguing the kids in social media. Wonderful reveal of Lilith’s “true form” as well, great design by Melnikov.
| Published by BOOM! Studios
Ascender #3 is harrowing and breathtaking. While Andy and Mila try to run in the present, we get more information on what happened with them and Effie in the time between Descender and now. Gorgeous, stunning artwork from Dustin Nguyen.
| Published by Image
Bad Luck Chuck #4 concludes what has been a fun, but weird, series from Lela Gwenn, Matthew Dow Smith, Kelly Fitzpatrick, and Frank Cvetkovic. And it ends with a pretty epic battle between cops and nuns.
| Published by Dark Horse
Black Panther #13 begins the next arc of “Two Thousand Suns” and T’Challa’s attempts to contact anyone back on Earth. Daniel Acuña returns to provide the art and it is beautiful. The effects as T’Challa attempts to calculate a communication path to Earth with the various planets and such are amazing.
| Published by Marvel
Detective Comics #1006 begins a new arc guest-starring the Spectre, with art from Kyle Hotz and David Baron. The Corrigan/Spectre joining sure works different than it used to. Interesting mystery with the Spectre cult and great art.
| Published by DC Comics
Ghost Tree #3 takes a few nice moments of quiet introspection and reflection from Brandt and Arami, as well as exploring more of Brandt’s grandparents life, before ramping up the tension with the demon. Beautiful artwork from Simon Gane, Ian Herring, and Becka Kinzie.
| Published by IDW
Justice League Dark #12 has huge ramifications as “Lords of Order” rages on. Stunning artwork from Alvaro Martínez Bueno, Raul Fernandez, and Brad Anderson. Also Tynion gives us a fascinating rumination on magic between Batman and Wonder Woman.
| Published by DC Comics
Killer Groove #2 continues this excellent crime drama. The little pieces of interaction and tiny character stories throughout this issue are wonderful. Ollie Masters’ approach to the narrative reminds me a lot of Robert Altman.
| Published by AfterShock
Road of Bones #2 leans hard into the brutal survival aspect of travelling across Russia in winter, without much idea or sense of where you’re going. Wonderful art from Alex Cormack.

The Silencer #18 concludes this series with a kind of stock-taking story from Dan Abnett, V. Ken Marion, Sandu Florea, Mike Spicer, and Tom Napolitano. There’s some bits about the reconciliation between Blake and Honor, but a large portion of this is Honor trying to find out information on what’s happening with Leviathan.

Stranger Things: Six #2 continues to flesh out the time before the first season at Hawkins Labs as we continue to follow Francine through her past and experiences there. There’s a wonderful feeling of dread with the glimpses of the Upside Down.

Thor #14 builds on events in War of the Realms #6 with a story that is concurrent with what happens in that book diving into the younger Thor’s perspective. Great art from Scott Hepburn and Matthew Wilson.

Transformers/Ghostbusters #1 is a great debut from Erik Burnham, Dan Schoening, Luis Antonio Delgado, and Tom B. Long beautifully integrating the two properties here. Cybertron as destroyed by Gozer is just wonderful, and there’s a nice bit of humour that fits well with Burnham and Schoening’s other Ghostbusters work.

War of the Realms #6 is the conclusion to this event with Jason Aaron, Russell Dauterman, Matthew Wilson, and Joe Sabino giving us a “storm of Thors”. It’s fairly epic as Thor and Malekith meet in the final confrontation, capping off one of the longest narrative arcs in Marvel that began back in Thor: God of Thunder #1 years ago. There’s more to come, but this is a very satisfying end.

The Weatherman #1 is a welcome return for the second volume of this series from Jody LeHeup, Nathan Fox, Moreno Dinisio, and Steve Wands. The story shifts as the team search for the clue to unlocking Bright’s memories on the one place we thought previously was all dead...Earth. Great stuff.

Wolverine: Exit Wounds #1 is another of Marvel’s 80th Anniversary one-shots, this one presenting three stories from some of the luminary creators that have worked on Wolverine before. The standout for me is the Wolverine/Venom story from Sam Kieth and Ronda Pattison. It’s a simple Vs. story, but the artwork is gorgeous. Larry Hama, Scot Eaton, Sean Parsons, and Matt Milla & Chris Claremont, Salvador Larroca, and Val Staples provide the other two stories giving a glimpse into other stages in Logan’s past. Joe Sabino provides letters for all three stories and it’s nice to see how he adapts for the tone and style of each tale.

Wonder Woman #73 is a fill-in from Steve Orlando, Aaron Lopresti, Matt Ryan, Romulo Fajardo Jr., and Pat Brosseau giving us a story of Diana’s past in an alternate reality. It’s a decent tale on its own, giving a hint at something important for the ongoing story.
