As @vigilannie_ said, this interview tomorrow will be very gay, both definitions included. Repost from @post_journal using @RepostRegramApp - Grab an old fashioned or a seltzer and join us Thursday at 5 on our Instagram Live for this interview on craft and identity in Arhm Wild's brand new book, "Cut to Bloom"! #arhmchoiwild #cuttobloom #queerlit #lgbtq #writebloodypublishing #poetsofinstagram #poetry #lgbtqpoetry

Thanks for this kind review! Repost from @readingrainboww using @RepostRegramApp - 🌸REVIEW🌸 . A haunting dive into the devastation of trauma, both personal and generarational, of han, and the transformation surely to bloom, even from jagged cuts. The depth of emotion explored in this collection chilled me. . 🍰🍰🍰🍰/5 . As someone who still has to digest what having an abusive father means, the read was cathartic. But also as a queer American, the resonance went deeper. Navigating love and identity, capturing the struggles of doing so as Asian-American. The narrative weaved through such a minefield of traumatic topics, sampling bruises, and capturing my mind in the process. There is such an honor in being able to read someone elses truth, and this one is so poignant. I have no doubt that this collection will be something I return to for some time to come. . @arhmcwild @writebloodypublishing . #poems #poem #poetry #bookstagram #asianamericanliterature #asianamericanlit #asianamericanpoets #nationalpoetrymonth #poetrymonth #cuttobloom

I’m not sure what I’m saying or reading in these photos, but I do know that I got to see the faces of so many people I love last night at the launch, including beloved folks who wouldn’t have been able to make it if it was an in-person event. Thank you for helping me create an incredible evening to send #cuttobloom out into the world. We cried, we laughed (kinda) at some jokes I told at a break in the set, we watched each other’s faces react in amazement to @jeaverlee, @peekaye, and @vandavis.band, and we created a web from all of our living rooms, somehow, impossibly and beautifully, connecting during these quarantine times in celebration of #poetrymonth, our resilience and adaptability, and the community I’m increasingly more grateful for as we navigate our way forward. My heart is feeling so big today. Thank you for showing up. I’ll be sending out signed copies of my book if you want to Venmo or PayPal me and dm me your address!

Launching Cut to Bloom tomorrow from my living room to yours, with my dog, @yourfavoritemister, and the dream crew: @writebloodypublishing @jeaverlee @peekaye and Abena K-D!!
