Up to 5,024 books available to stream for free. I also added a bunch of their Print Disability books.
I couldn't find the old post I had on this so I could reblog so here's a new reminder of the Internet Archive account I use to list poetry collections and poetry-related nonfiction available on the Internet Archive for free.
I favorited another bunch of poetry collections today.
There are 3,559 books listed as of this morning.

new book! also available here!)
un;oaded (read: unloaded) is a collection of poems that focuses on mental health issues. some of these were written over five years ago, & since then, as both a person & a poet i have grown & developed. still, this is a body of work i am proud of—& which is now out there existing as an extension of myself, which is scary & exciting.
creating anything centred around struggling with mental illness is deeply personal, but also has the power to unify. there’s something profound in how art born out of the worst kind of loneliness can help lessen it. that’s all i want to do.
i’d like to thank everyone who worked with me on this, especially my dear friend @spacedadpicard for writing the forward. also, whilst i’m here—free palestine! ceasefire now! 🍉

He is a collection of stories
he’ll never tell. In the moonlight, he looks like a vanishing horse.
In the daylight: a dog.
He has nothing to say about the question he wants to ask.
The same one I’ll ask of the future.
About being the one to live
— A. D. Lauren-Abunassar, from "Tessellate," published in Rusted Radishes

Sorry you’re not feeling well !!! Hope you get better soon.
Thank you, lovely. <3 Dealt with the stomach pain for nearly two decades so its cessation was life changing. Hoping to experience that again if my hunch is correct.

Dear God. Dear Bones. Dear Mother. Please, forgive
me. I want to call in dead. Last week,
there was a child in a yellow dress reading a poem.
For minutes on end, I could not be indifferent
to anything. Not the grass, dying yellow.
Not the bombs, twisting limbs.
Not the cages. Not the—

Colonizers write about flowers.
I tell you about children throwing rocks at Israeli tanks
seconds before becoming daisies.
I want to be like those poets who care about the moon.
Palestinians don’t see the moon from jail cells and prisons.
It’s so beautiful, the moon.
They’re so beautiful, the flowers.
— Noor Hindi, from “Fuck Your Lecture on Craft, My People Are Dying,” DEAR GOD. DEAR BONES. DEAR YELLOW.

LitHub released an update on the 21st saying that Mosab was released but reported having been beaten and interrogated. He received medical care and is with his family.
They didn’t find a place to bury you.
They carried you on their shoulders,
The houses never saw you.
They’ve already packed their bags.
— Mosab Abu Toha, Oct 17, 2023, from "Ceasefire Cento," published by Vox Populi
Reported today by LitHub: Reports suggest Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha has been kidnapped by Israeli forces.

I've been dealing with a lot of stomach pain and nausea, the one that used to be a constant for me. I'm thinking the lumateperone/Calypta I recently stopped taking was the thing that made those side-effects abate so I suppose I'll restart it tomorrow because I can't deal with this.
Just been miserable as all out.

My poetry is a record of what happened. I will not forget what happens to me. I do not want people who come after me to forget what happened.
