Also some Potter. I always reread some Sexton and Dickinson, though not a whole book every year per se. I have read Lidia Yuknavitch's The Chronology of Water once a year since it came out.

Thank you! And for a poem, too! I appreciate your validation of my desire for readership, and am so glad you're part of mine, and that I get to read your words, too. <3

I firmly believe that Democrats need to come out of the gate swinging against white supremacy, climate denial, misogyny, and all the other regressive tactics of the current administration when it comes
