Going to the ER tonight to try and get admitted because my insurance won't let me see anyone that will do anything to keep my eyesight. I have uncontrolled glaucoma and am in immediate need of care for both that and a corneal transplant. My insurance won't cover anything but that

"Metaphors & memories are folded into the body—maybe deliberately, maybe out of necessity." @reactormag's review of RIVERS is like a rabbit-hole, spinning new stories in fine webs between the poems. I'm enchanted by @AnneMPillsworth's magical bus & @R_Emrys' sculpture garden! 💚
In honor of Poetry Month, Reading the Weird does a deep dive into the collection Rivers in Your Skin, Sirens in Your Hair, a horror-soaked exploration of folklore https://t.co/i7L6fe9cVz
