Lovely poem. I’ll miss joining the Zoom group but I don’t think I can get up at 4 a.m. I will try to participate as much as I can; honestly there is a lot going on right now so I’ll probably be a bit hit and miss. I’ll pop in as I can.
I’ve begun to dig into her poems! I love how poetry can be so expansive in how each author chooses to arrange words. There’s so much to learn in observing other poets choices.
Unfortunately, the Thursday zoom is very early in the morning over here so will likely miss it.

Gah, 4am is gonna be tricky. I’m going to mix up the times of our circles as we go along so hopefully we’ll get to see each other soon xx
That would be great!

Wow just wow! Gala Alyan’s poetry is raw and wonderful. Dammit I’ve got to add that book to my list too.
Honestly, it’s very very good x
Love this Nelly. I won’t make the Thursday Zoom but will join you at the ones I can xx
The poem is beautiful. I don't know if I can join either, but I will definitely check out Hala Alyan's book.
"you were every street lamp"
Excited for this! Going to hunt down a copy this week. Loved Object Permanence, this line especially: “You were every streetlamp that winter.”
I already love the title!
