my words to victor frankenstein above the village of chamounix, susan stryker // motion sickness, phoebe bridgers // river ghost, sheryl luna // my house, nikki giovanni // chinese radio station: an ars poetica, nancy huang // we carve a prophecy: the world or the gurl, leia penina wilson

Image ID below the cut:

[Image Description: Six excerpts from various texts. One: "No sound / exists / in this place without language / my rage is a silent raving" by Susan Stryker. Two: "There are no words in the English language / I could scream to drown you out" by Phoebe Bridgers. Three: "There is an old language broken in my throat." by Sheryl Luna. Four: "english isn't a good language / to express emotion through / mostly i imagine because people / try to speak english instead / of trying to speak through it" by Nikki Giovanni. Five: "someone told me / to trim the fat: get rid of adjectives, use solely nouns and verbs, / get at the meat of things. but shanghai is smoking behind me. / how can you describe a thing if you don't have the word / for it?" by Nancy Huang. Six: "i denounce that / i might not have learned my own tongue but / mother / says it's in the blood & i am willing" by Leia Penina Wilson. End ID.]

Writer Ask: 2, 5, 6 & 8

2. Where is your favorite place to write?

I really love writing in coffee shops and bars, as horribly cliche as that is lol. I usually write on my computer or my phone, not so much handwritten, but I love the ambiance and white noise of public places. Which makes right now extra fun!

5. Top five formative books?

Oooo good question. Ummm. IDK about formative but these are some books that I’ve learned a TON from:

The Spice Box of Earth by Leonard Cohen taught me I could be a poet if I wanted it bad enough.

WETLAND by Lucas de Lima is one that showed me you could tell a narrative story in poetry, without writing narratively.

About to Happen by Cecila Vicuña taught me so much about weaving and braiding images, narrative, motif, etc.

Both Each and Her by Valerie Martinez and Book of the Dead by Muriel Rukeyser have taught me a lot about documentary poetry

i built a boat with all the towels in your closet (and will let you drown) by Leia Penina Wilson taught me that not only could rules be broken, but FUCK THE RULES + WRITE ANGRY FEMINIST QUEER SHIT + SAY CUNT A LOT

6. Favorite character you’ve written?

In fic, River Song. Always. She’s the love of my life and there will never be another. I love her independence and her heart and her sassiness and her brutality and her intelligence and her stubbornness and everything about her.

IRL, I’m having a lot of fun right now writing a poem series about a little girl who rescues a mermaid from a museum basement.

8. Do you have any writing buddies or critique partners?

@mygalfriday has always been my go-to for fic edits and screaming; and I also annoy you, @fraks, @atheneglaukopis, and A a lot.

[ ask me writing questions! ]

#thank you babe!!#i'm finally on my computer! horray!#asks #replies #cassiopeiasara

Its "What Are You Reading?" Wednesday!

Its "What Are You Reading?" Wednesday! What are you reading?? What should I read next?! #WWW

I’ve seen a lot of bookish memes and list ideas here on the book-blogging circuit, and I wish I could do all of them! One of my favorites has been a trend of bloggers posting their current reads on Wednesdays.

This week I’ll be taking inspiration from Taking On a World of Words, and trying out their “WWW Wednesday!”

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading? What did you recently…

Splinters Are Children of Wood by Leia Penina Wilson

Rating: ★★★

Splinters Are Children of Wood is not what you expect. It doesn't feel like poetry as you're reading it, it feels like someone tapped into the unfiltered, feral mind of Leia Penina Wilson and wrote every word down as it appeared without editing anything. My favorite words to describe this collection: visceral, aggressive, unrestrained, unhinged, and intense. This is raw. My least favorite things about this collection: Not always structured, some parts are incredibly disjointed, the juxtaposition of the pages that mean absolutely nothing and do nothing for the collection when put next to the meaningful, emotional pages.
