Hello, thanks for responding to my post the other day, and for recommending Audre Lorde! I read your two recs, as well as Coal, Echoes, and her essay "The Master's Tools..."

I turned to my old Norton Anthology to see if we had read any of her work in my courses, and I immediately remembered Coal. Her enjambment makes her work very fun to read aloud.

I also read the brief bio on Lorde on Poetry Foundation. My personal favourite line of anything I read was the second from Hanging Fire: "and my skin has betrayed me". To speak of lived experience, this is mine every day! Take care.

To be clear, the line is likely about race and/or puberty, but it really hit home re: autoimmune diseases. I think some variant of that line every week it seems.

Oh, finally, I was excited to hear about *Zami: A New Spelling of My Name* as it brought the term "biomythography" to me. I'm quite passionate about the seamless blending of truth and lies in the context of fiction.

so happy you dived into her work, her legacy and words are so so important to me. and totally agree about the enjambment, she's also such a great orator and and hearing her read her own work aloud is so satisfying

i wanna make a substack but i fear this is vanity. if anyone has literary-focused/personal writing substacks or literary magazine or personal sites of writers (aside from my talented mutuals whose work i devour) recommendations let me know, need to escape avalanching brain asap with text consumption

girl wonderlost (shrine keeper, epithet bestowed to me by reliquia and ancientcrypt.neocities.org/epithet) is feeling called to ponderosa pine forests. i think to enact my vision because i cannot draw/animate, going to utilize google earth in some capacity for some scenes.
has anyone been to ochoco national forest? https://earth.google.com/web/search/ochocho+n/@44.26340932,-120.4600592,1735.46862241a,0d,60y,105.16669091h,65.12394761t,0r/data=CiwiJgokCQAAAAAAAAAAEQAAAAAAAAAAGQAAAAAAAAAAIQAAAAAAAAAAQgIIASIbChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURxbzVxcThnRRAFMikKJwolCiExZWEyLTRTRVNvT3pORWxpMlVoV0o4ZG0yZC1UektwbXIgAToDCgEwQgIIAEoICOv1vq8DEAE?authuser=0
also something limnal in the air, but maybe i just need to go swimming once more. in a week or so will probably stick a big "under construction" sign on g-w to keep me honest. will miss having you all over to my house, but we will find each other in the forest (fingers crossed)
I have not been there! In 2016 I drove Nashville > Denver > Casper > Bozeman > Spokane > Seattle > Portland > SanFran > Moab. Oh dear, about to run out of comments, I'm sure.
Oh yay one more. That photo sphere you posted immediately brings me back to the beloved PS4 game, of course. What a view. I look forward to the site's arboreal rebirth.
I have to fight the urge to remake my site everyday lol i'm excited for what you do :3
