Hi poets — Thanks for the generous responses to last month’s call for care package ideas! I’ve filled the spots that were available, so please stay tuned for a couple new care packages (and if time/energy/money allow, more openings for your ideas and pitches). There’s a little money in the submission fee support fund right now, and I’d like to get it on its way to poets who could use the boost. Here’s how to get support—please note the update for 2025.

This yearly kickoff-style post is a diversion from the usual monthly fare, but 2024 is not really a “fresh start” kind of new year for me, and I know it’s not for many of you. Once again, in the face of violence and the ongoing murders of Palestinian poets and writers and artists and journalists and their families and and and, I want to ask: How’s your heart?

Hello, poets — how are your hearts? Mine is a strange mix of grief and assuredness right now. The feeling that the work to be done is very clear and urgent (I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so steady in my small efforts to make change?), but running through that clarity are the names and faces of the children, families, animals, trees, waters that are being harmed and lost every day that the bombing continues.
