Not a request exactly but I was wondering, what are some of your top quotes / poems from this past year? Things that stuck with you, whether new or not; things that resonated deep inside you, that got you through another year?

Okay, so, it turns out that I actually have quite a few of these because I have read a lot more since I started this blog, so I'm just going to link a fuckton of poems and miscellanea that I liked enough to bookmark as I made webs and hope you like them too:

LET YOUR DAD DIE ENERGY DRINK by Daniel Lavery and Cecilia Corrigan, and it's follow up WIRE MOTHER ENERGY DRINK

I love all of @animauxing's gorgeous ACNH comics, but especially these two

Great Things Have Happened by Alden Nowlan

Crystal Wilkinson's article Praise Song for the Kitchen Ghosts

The lyrics to Hiding All Away by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

The full version of The Old Astronomer by Sarah Williams, which I had only ever read a single stanza from before this year

Obedience, or the Lying Tale by Jennifer Chang

Holly Warburton. Just... all of her artwork. All of it.

I knew about Ocean Vuong a while ago, and I knew he was good - really good - but I never quite comprehended how good until I read Prayer for the Newly Damned for the first time and immediately burst into tears

Betrayal by William Hathaway

The Death of Antinoüs by Mark Doty

Jared Singer's spoken word poem The Last Love Letter From an Entomologist (and a transcript for those like me who need to have something to read along with)

@billypotts's epiphany about love and personhood

acknowledgments by Danez Smith

Leila Chatti's poem about grief, What Willl Happen, which was the first thing in twelve years that let me forgive myself for the way I reacted to the death of a girl I knew when I was ten years old. If I had to pick a single thing I read that changed me in 2021, this would be it

Planning Ahead Can Make a Difference in the End by Aaron Freeman

Saturday's Child by Countee Cullen

Cavetown’s Boys Will Be Bugs, which will likely be the song of 2021 in my memory
