Sarah J Sloat
poet
Easter/ drove a tent pole in / to a kiss
better nostalgia tears than migraine/nausea tears
happy half year
This won’t come as a surprise to anyone who’s published a book but one of the best (& worst) experiences is reading reviews on GoodReads and the like by complete strangers.
Get Your Year On
I read a lot. I tried new things creatively. A take-out meal became a special event. I discovered a little public garden near my home. Our sweet dog died. We got a new sofa and chair. I gave up make-up and bras. I saved a lot on airfare and things that I might have bought as a kind of pastime. I saw my first sequoias.
Shadow from days to come
Tomorrow / they’ll dress me in ash for the sunrise
Behold Your Horses
It is good to put aside an hour for thinking. Slow down. Behold your horses.
Aspirational Reading
Like many readers I keep track of what I read every year & I like looking at the list as December approaches its end. But while people are making their list of favorites for 2020, I feel like I’ve still got three weeks to find another good thing.
