My best friend's poem has been nominated for a Rhysling Award!

"The Rhysling Awards are an annual award given for the best science fiction, fantasy, or horror poem of the year."

Her poem was published in an anthology, and I did an illustration for it.

(Unfortunately, for privacy's sake I can't name her, the poem, or me.)

Here's hoping she wins!

throwing the proper tantrums by patricia colleen murphy, published in hemming flames

[Text ID: We loved the thrill of being batshit in a speedboat. We wore our poison ivy like tattoos. There wasn't much positive feedback. We’d go to the dock to fish for catcalls. Brother, we were nearly twins in our red swimming bottoms. In the evenings we mixed martinis, always caring for our parents just short of paying the mortgage. Mornings, doughnuts at an empty table. We were so small, but so adept at pretending we weren’t living with orangutans. In August we’d leave the lake and return to the river. All those winters spent in the throw-things house. Ceramic ashtray exploding against brown paneling. My head crashing through the china cabinet glass. I knew exactly why you needed to touch me that way. /End ID]

The last words of Vincent Van Gogh before committing suicide were:

The sadness will last forever.

And nusrat fateh ali khan sang a masterpiece that resonates with these words:

shab-e-gham ki sahar nahi hoti

ho bhi tou mere ghar nahi hoti

zindagi tu hi mukhtasar ho ja

shab-e-gham mukhtasar nahi hoti

The dawn of a night of sorrow does not exist. Even if it does, it's not for me.O life, become concise.. Because a sorrowful night is never short.

I highly recommend local bookstores because nowhere else can you pick up a book that is no different from any other books around it, which include publications by such authors as Ursula fucking Le Guin, and discover only once you get home that it's printed in batches of 200 and doesn't even have an associated ISBN. This has happened to me multiple times, and it is the best. This is not ironic, it's the funniest experience and you really will only get this kind of appreciation and uplifting of local and small artists in indie bookstores.

And also those books will usually knock your fucking socks off.

#the copyright page on this book says #'copyright of original writing asserted by author do not reprint without permission but like tbh permission would be easy to get. just ask.' #truly incredible iconic showstopping award winning #i also got a book of palestinian folktales which I'm very excited to read #i did NOT know there was a poetry specific bookstore in seattle but like. if you're interested and local. open books in pioneer square #VERY lovely and delightful shop #megs is reading

Top 5 poems!

it's always time for "good bones" by maggie smith in this house

i can recite "the crocodile's toothache" by shel silverstein off by heart so. that lives inside me forever and ever.

"[anyone lived in a pretty how town]" by e.e. cummings - classic

madhur anand's collection parasitic oscillations moved me - as you got an earful(eyeful?) about - but i don't think i have a favorite poem from the book. the experience of reading it simply added richness to my relationship with poetry and nature and science. only that.

"he visits my town once a year" by amir khusro

you've mentioned that you sometimes do some digging into sleep token so I figured you're the best person to ask this. do you happen to know what the full message at download pilot in 2021 was?

for reference: https://www.tumblr.com/murderofcrow/728893041668227072/ok-so-i-was-searching-for-a-specific-photo-of?source=share

i've figured out most of it but there's something missing at the beginning and i could not figure out the end bc of the noise. i'm just really curious if you've seen something about this?

I got you 🖤🙏 They played the same message at the 2021 Heavy Music Awards (and a couple of other shows in 2021 I believe). The video should start at the right place (if not, skip to 2:07 unless you like hearing the crowd chat/scream).

Let's not deceive ourselves There is a reason we are here It follows us wherever we go We were in love We are in love It is what floats above us as we try to sleep It is what stands beside us as we gaze into nothingness It is drowning us It is eating us alive A million outstretched arms in complete darkness They will reach forever Remind me We're both dying to find out what happens when we die We're both scared of being We're both stolen pieces of each other We're both exploring our own frontiers of grief We're both just strangers We're both just particles We're both so lost in what it means to be lost We're both a house that remained unoccupied for too long Let's not deceive ourselves
