Picked up New Poets of Native Nations<\/em>, edited by Heid E. Erdrich, at the same time I was going to the library for Kenneth Koch\u2019s long poems, and folks? This book\u2019s way better. I am ashamed to admit Native poetry is something I am unfamiliar with, even historically. Mark Turcotte was nice enough to come to the reading series I co-ran in college, but beyond him and some Natalie Diaz here and there? Not much. Time to rectify that. <\/p> So far, I am especially enjoying Tacey M. Atsitty, Margaret Noodin, and Laura Da\u2019. Obviously I have more to get to. Strongly recommend this book. <\/p> LINKS!<\/strong><\/p> THE LINE BREAK IS BACK! This month, Bob and I ended up kinda accidentally talking about legacy and future, heavier topics than we usually get into. That said, this didn\u2019t feel like a heavy episode. Bob read Diane Seuss, I read Ana\u00efs Duplan (regular readers may be familiar<\/a>), and we had a good ol\u2019 time. Check it out: Apple Podcasts<\/a> | Soundcloud<\/a><\/p><\/li> Kathy Fish, here on Substack, on what literary \u201csuccess\u201d looks like<\/a>.<\/p><\/li> Taco Bell Quarterly, here on Substack, with a genuine and inspiring discussion of what year-end lists are, how the TBQ Voice developed, and how to be a writer when you don\u2019t feel like a writer<\/a>. The TBQ Twitter has been an uplifting place for me as a writer. Their \u201clive m\u00e1s\u201d ethos inspired the somewhat clumsier mission of this blog: \u201celegizing all the stuff I think is rad in the face of capitalism\u2019s apocalypse.\u201d<\/p><\/li> My dear friend Chloe N. Clark on strange places to find inspiration for writing<\/a>. <\/p><\/li> This has nothing to do with writing but there are no more Friday links for the year and this Defector article on how glass frogs hide their blood<\/a> is super rad. <\/p><\/li> Finally, perhaps most importantly: THE GARDEN PARTY COLLECTIVE<\/a>! My dearest Bob has joined forces with the wonderful and talented Christopher Morgan, Laura Villareal, Lyd Havens, and Stephen J. Furlong in a new publishing enterprise. They are launching a chapbook contest to start, and they have the most adorable masthead page<\/a> in the game. <\/p><\/li><\/ul> I\u2019ll post a year-end roundup on Wednesday, but no links on Friday. Back in 2023. Thanks for reading these last few months. Love and warmth to you and yourn. Back in 2023. <\/p> Sorry you got an email, <\/p> Chris<\/p>![](\"https:\/\/bucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com\/public\/images\/ff0f0938-7d7c-4173-bd8f-d6dc7ecbcce9_3024x4032.jpeg\"\/)
