When I see men in powerful positions using their voice to send women back to the kitchen, my hackles go up. I am reminded every day that benevolent patriarchy is its most insidious form. -Jen Miller #poetry #feministpoetry #smashthepatriarchy #womensempowerment #feministpoet

✨Storytime and full disclosure: Do I know Brian? Yes, yes I do. He’s the husband of one of my best friends from forever, and I’m so thankful for him because he’s the perfect partner for Laura — it does my heart so much good to know that she has this kind, faithful, funny person by her side who can also match her astonishing wit and often intimidating intelligence. He’s a good dude — and a great friend. He knows me, and so yeah, these are biased, but he’s the first person to leave reviews for _The_Familiar_ on the Evil Overlord Bookseller Site We Will Not Name and Goodreads (also owned by said Overlord), and this gesture is just more evidence of his big heart — helping friends out wherever and however he can. Love you, man. I’m glad we’re family. And thanks for these lovely reviews. ✨ #bookstagram #poet #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writer #thefamiliarpoems #sarahkaingutowski #midlife #midlifecrisis #existentialcrisis #fabulismbooks #fabulist #fabulistpoetry #fabulism #feminism #feminist #feministbooks #feministpoetry #feministpoet

📸 Memory Time! (Weird Poet-Face incoming) I’m oh-so grateful to my cousin Kim for coming to Friday night’s reading at Green Tree Brewery, which was filled with a generous, fun crowd. Steve Jones from the Moon Under Water pubcast was on hand for introductions; Kelly read from his published novel, _A_Candle_for_San_Simon_ and an excerpt of his novel-in-progress. I read from _The_Familiar_ after revising my set list once I realized the pub was family-friendly and there were tiny kidlets around. #pottymouth The beer was excellent, and if you’re ever near or around LeClaire, IA, it’s worth the stopover.

💜☀️FAN GIRL MOMENT☀️💜 Frickin loving that my whole teens I was encouraged by the media to dream about boy bands and wearing corporation logos on massively overpriced clothes... Wowee the monies I paid desperate to be a walking advert!! But we got there kid, and happily, now my heroes are powerful, massively talented authors and performers like @salena.godden and I wear t- shirts that say PESSIMISM IS FOR F*CKIN LIGHT WEIGHTS!!!! (Okay not f*ckin, but in my mind it's there... Maybe I'll stitch on 🤣) So yes, please meet the only t.shirt I'll ever need, despite the fact I look like the ghost of a small Victorian orphan who died of plague when wearing yellow, so there must be pink. . . Which I also used to hate on principle for being 'girli'... But there's a new principal in school now and so I wear what the hell I love. Get me another soap box!! I have things to saaaaay! Anyone wanting to join me in embracing support for Salena's epic work check her feed, and get the PIFL poetry book, and also 'Mrs Death Misses Death' because I'm part way through and I've had to put it down till I can't leave the house for a few days or I won't be able to stop reading and will lose my job and such. Over and out. 🙌💜🙌💜🙌💜🙌 #poets #poetsofinstagram #poetsofinsta #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenauthors #feministpoet #pessimismisforlightweights #poetoftheday #artwillsaveus #artwillsavetheworld #mrsdeathmissesdeath

⚡️🧡 💛 💚 💙 This podcast was such a good experience — Annmarie Kelly is a warm, friendly, empathetic host and boy, does she do her research. I enjoyed thoroughly how much we were able to move between serious topics like midlife turmoil and more joyful ones, like spontaneous vacations and watching Moonstruck 1,000 times. This was such an absolute pleasure, and kind of healing. I hope you find some of it useful to you, too. 💙 💚 💛 🧡 ⚡️ Link in bio. #bookstagram #poet #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writer #thefamiliarpoems #sarahkaingutowski #midlife #midlifecrisis #existentialcrisis #fabulismbooks #fabulist #fabulistpoetry #fabulism #feminism #feminist #feministbooks #feministpoetry #feministpoet

⚡️🧡💛 + 💙 💚 New month, new podcast interview! _The_Familiar_ is officially one month old and I get to celebrate with this, a dream interview experience with Annemarie Kelly at the Wild Precious Life podcast 💚 💙 + 💛 🧡 ⚡️ Link in bio! Posted @withregram • @annmariek_h Some days, adulting feels like too much: incessant dinners, a living room ceiling that needs painting, the money we saved for vacation only to spend replacing the washing machine instead. And often, parenting seems like too much: the kids need new soccer cleats, the cello stand has fallen off, somebody wants help with math homework I don’t entirely understand, and someone else needs a plain black shirt for the mandatory choir concert on Wednesday but the only ones at Target have puppy dogs on the front. And all of this while I need to get a presentation drafted for my work conference next week, and–great, fantastic. The dog just threw up. If you’ve ever felt split down the middle, or fractured, or like life is simultaneously too much and not enough–like YOU’RE simultaneously too much and not enough–then today’s guest is for you. @sarahkaingutowski has written about the ways in which we’re so often divided against ourselves. Dabbling in your own midlife existential crisis? Perfect. Grab a copy of her new poetry book, THE FAMILIAR, and join us for this conversation. #podcasts #poscastsforwriters #podcastsforreaders #bookstagram #poet #poetry #poetrycommunity #writing #writer #thefamiliarpoems #sarahkaingutowski #midlife #midlifecrisis #existentialcrisis #fabulismbooks #fabulist #fabulistpoetry #fabulism #feminism #feminist #feministbooks #feministpoetry #feministpoet

International Women’s Day. • To the women we are - who we are destined to become - who we love, and learn from - and who we will raise. • #internationalwomensday
Happy Women’s Day! “Well, my name is Caitlin Maude And I live in a land that I love Where the living and the dead still evoke all the ghosts On the rough Connemara coast. Well I’ll say to all of you three things In the first place I am more beautiful than you In the second place I am a woman And in the third place I am a poet. Give me a hammer And I will break and tear down this prison house Until I smash all the walls Crack all the floors Until the roof and chimney come tumbling down Now hand me the boards and the nails And I will build another house Just like the other ones Just like other ones Just like the other ones Just like the other ones” Caitlin Maude by @theloafingheroes at @bota.anjos 📷&🎥: @hugosantos_photo #indie #dreamfolk #musicinlisbon #theloafingheroes #indiefolk #alternative #caitlinmaude #irishpoet #feministpoet #womensday
Happy International Women's Day, to ALL women! 💕 Thank you to my gorgeous friend Lauren over at @laurenm.hancock for slipping me this beautiful prompt: "You Brew Like The Perfect Storm'' mid chat, it was the much needed gateway I needed to explore a femme empowering piece that I've been waiting to write! ✍️I've always appreciated and enjoyed the format of a prose poem but hadn't written one in some time, the re-ignition and inspiration for me wanting to dabble in writing them again came from listening/hearing/seeing the amazing Madison Godfrey, Poet extraordinare, at Writer's Week! ✍️☺️ In this piece, I'm aiming to champion all women, yes, allll women, because wouldn't it be better if we lifted one another's voices up, rather than be snarky to one another, to celebrate one another?! Also, by no means am I generalising by way of portraying men who catcall, I'm aware not everyone does it but honestly I've always hated it and that it feels like nothing short of a perversion, honestly fellas, just - no.... I also hope that any woman should never be made to feel less than the beautiful, powerful soul that they are! 🩷 To only be kind to ourselves, but to one another as well, why, that's never struck me as being hard? Whilst I can happily acknowledge that the world is getting better towards treatment of women in some facets, there's definitely more that needs to be done, this I know too! So today, on #InternationalWomensDay - and every day herein, let's anchor one another in support, heads high and faces proud! ☺️🩷 #InternationalWomensDay2024 #InternationalWomensDay❤️ #Feminist #FeministPoetry #WomensAdvocate #WordsForWomen #FeministPoems #FeministPoet #UntwineMeAustralia #ShadowedRose_Prompts #PoetryDaily #Poetrystagram #PoetryIsNotDead #PoetryIsAlive #PoeticProse #ProsePoetry #Poet #PoetAndWriter #PoetryCommunity #PoetryIsNotALuxury #PoeticSoul #WritingCommunity #CreativeWriting #BleedingInk #PoetryPrompts #WritingPrompts

me on the floor with all my friends 🤧 okay jokes aside, i wanted to put a face behind the writing and share a little bit about what i’ve been working on… ✨FICTION✨ yes, the poet writing fiction. feminist speculative/dystopian fiction to be more specific 🫢 over 20k words in & showing no signs of letting up! ✨ ESSAYS ✨ or long form prose, or rambling thoughts, or creative nonfiction, or whatever you want to call it — if it’s related to storytelling, writing, womanhood, feminism, book bans, i’ll be sharing my thoughts over on @substack on STORIES NEVER DIE 🫡 ✨ POETRY ✨ yup this one has taken a bit of a place on the back burner but it’s always lingering — chapbook ideas on girlhood/womanhood, single poem submissions on want, identity, self love…this one’s a lot to handle but has my heart 🫶🏻 p.s. #womenshistorymonth is coming up and there are some cool book/writing related holidays as well, so expect a little more from me this march 🤞🏻
“This trilingual poetry collection is truly a remarkable landmark. [. . .] Sánchez’ poems are transfixing and invigorating. Her recitation in a language spoken by an estimated 100,000 people is rhythmic and fluid, giving listeners a beautiful introduction to the meter and intended emotion of each poem and essentially functioning like music in a language unknown to listeners. Each English narration that follows, whether by Call's warm, high tones or Shook's deep voice and poetic cadence, audibly empathizes with the poem's Zoque origin. A compelling and storied audio with appeal for those who appreciate international poetry, Spanish speakers, and listeners from Indigenous Mexican communities seeking literary representation.”—Booklist, starred review 🎧️📙 Available wherever you get your audiobooks, learn more about HOW TO BE A GOOD SAVAGE AND OTHER POEMS by Mikeas Sánchez, translated by Shook and Wendy Call, via the link in our bio or at milkweed.org/seedbank.

Happy Friday my lovelies! Spring is almost here which means getting back to some serious writing, I have been hard at work on a new poetry collection as part of my MA creative writing at Birkbeck for this term as well as plotting out my novel for my final thesis.

Today I made this collage inspired by Andre Lorde’s poem A Woman Speaks. It’s amazing to make images and words meet in this way. Will definitely experiment more in this approach.
