Using a document from 1789 to ban abortion because it isn't mentioned, but allow semi-automatic rifles and Kevlar is such next-level fuckery that the brain starts to black out.

We knew our children’s lives would get worse every year. / We thought they might like to be here anyway, / to give them oceans, ice cream, optic nerves, the flowers, and all their names. “Poem for My Children Born During the Sixth Extinction” Laura Cresté bit.ly/3QUhVqx

Every new iteration of "women are disappearing!" panic is an affirmation of fascist replacement theory, the state's violent regulation of our families and social lives, and a willingness to allow people to violently self-deputize in order to "correct" that "disappearance."

Look at these brilliant and generous and adorable poets!! Thank you Tin House and @PaisleyRekdal for alchemizing such a powerful week. #thsw

Going to consider "Laraua Cresté" my alter ego. For real though, I feel so lucky to have gotten to go to Tin House this year and been in such good company. Missing my workshop cohort already.

Penultimate evening. #sewaneewriters
