definitely read book of longing if you haven’t already!
this whole series of poems is absolutely beautiful and obscene, that it’s hard to pick one.

autobiography of red is her most well known one, my favourite of hers though is h of h playbook
these are more verse novels than a traditional poetry collection, but all of her work is beautiful and often I find quite accessible
other authors I love are Mahmoud Darwish and Seamus Heaney

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
