This is wonderful, I really appreciate your efforts. I’m just about to self publish. My first poetry collection. One day I hope to publish with a small press.
The bit about reciprocity reminds me of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book about the serviceberry and the gift economy. I find that when I engage more in this gift economy, my world is more fulfilling. I love that you’re bringing more focus on connection than production. A worthy thing for us all to remember.

When our open reading session is live please submit and also the LemonLight Prize is something we’d love for you to enter :)
I’ve got my eye on it! 😏
I admire that you are carrying forward this tradition! Best of luck
Thank you, this is the beginning and beginnings are beautiful (and also a lot of work!) - but it’s the good fight to fight.
Definitely true! I'm also at the beginning of writing on substack so cheers to new beginnings then!

Inspiring. Thank you for this poetic devotion.
Wonderfully written, by the way.
