what a lovely honoring of all these endeavors, it is nice to see a recap and remember reading about some of them and listening to the podcast episode too! for my turn, a handful of poetry and prose publications with really special little presses, incl. anthologies edited by dear internet friends. and water protector work, too. it has been such a heavy year of being a “nursing home daughter” that perhaps what i am most proud of is survival, and cultivating relationships of support. it has definitely been a sense of solidarity to read what you share of the medical world you have had to enter into.
hooray for the poetry and prose pubs! especially with little indie presses. <3 and water protector work is life work, it's amazing that you do it. <3 and i'm sorry to hear about the transition to that kind of daughter-caretaking role.....that's a really heavy, but so wonderful to allow yourself the grace of support networks. thinking of you and grateful for you, andrea. wishing you ease & joy & rebellion in 2025!
Thank you for sharing this! It can be so easy to rush into the new year without reflecting, I’ve been working on it too. I think one of my most meaningful moments of the year was leading a small team in making a community grief zine (we accepted submissions at phx zine fest). Sending love your way! I’m so excited for your book:)
yay zines!!! and community grief, so so important to collect/process/illuminate/honor. sending you love & good wishes for 2025, Devin! very grateful we're connected!
