Recommended by The Hush and the Howl, with Beth Kephart
I've known Lilian and her beautiful work for a long time. Her new Substack is a rich haven offering deep research and thinking on women writers around the world. This is a Substack with a gorgeous purpose.
Judy is generous, smart, and, in so many ways, fabulous.
Among my many blessings in life is my long friendship with the ever smart, ever talented Leslie.
Because, with my dear friend Abby, I always do want to know what is coming next.
It is, profoundly, soul with Beth—a place to rest one's mind, and to extend one's poetry on the page and in life.
First of all, Darien is lovely. Just: She is. And she takes that loveliness and shares it—big thoughts on making micros, carefully designed prompts, musings on what matters in writing and art. She is a bridge builder, a community maker. I highly recommend Darien Gee.
It is time to speak with a unified voice. With his indepth interviews and analysis, Simon helps us do that.
The thing is this: My enduring friendship with Karen Rile can be traced back to a different century, a certain Leeway grant, years of overlapping work at the University of Pennsylvania (how do I file the grades?, Karen, I would ask), and her generous featuring of my work in her incredible CLEAVER magazine. But this Substack is my friend Karen Rile at her best—her broad knowledge, her generous posts, her desire to help all of us know and be more, her gorgeous storytelling. Highly recommended.
