Happy Women's History Month! When the world feels like a dumpster fire, I am so glad we still have books. If you've read Ms. Feminist Know-It-All, my column with Ms. Magazine, you'll know how much I love books and the escape reading provides in just such a time. But it's not just escape, of course. Books provide inspiration, information, new perspectives, relaxation, connection, grounding, and the all-important lessons from the past that we must learn to avoid their repetition.

April is National Poetry Month, and it's coming on fast!As you may know, I write a poetry column for Ms. Magazine each year, so if you are a publisher or writer and haven't sent me your latest collection yet, please send them along or get in touch. I focus on collections by the global majority published within the last year (so between April 2024 and April 2025) and forthcoming titles.
