I never understand why anything is trending on Twitter anymore. I don't mean I don't know why is anyone using that platform. I mean that I click on the trending thing, and even the Top tweets have 5 likes and look as random as the rest of the shit on that platform.
I love the 49th Shelf Most Anticipated blog posts, especially ones that feature brilliant friends like @manahil.bsky.social@sjonespoet.bsky.social@christinemcnair.bsky.social@razovsky.bsky.social and so many more! it's gonna be a great fall for poetry!
Poetry to fall in love with in the second half of 2024
