This week: a side course of flutter, spiny dry isolation, enormous compound words, dancing with dragonflies, naked meditation and more.

One housekeeping note: You may notice a couple of posts more than a week a week old in this week’s digest. I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with the sporadic manner in which many WordPress sites’ RSS feeds are being updated, causing me to miss some great posts in recent weeks, so I’ve decided to be more flexible about the time-range from now on. (If you have a WordPress site, I’m afraid I don’t have a whole lot of advice; I’ve yet to find a solution that really works, aside from creating and advertising a JSON feed and/or switching to a more reliable platform, such as Substack.) Anyway, enjoy the digest.

A shorter digest than usual this week, reflecting I suppose a general exhaustion among poetry bloggers after NaPoWriMo and the winding down of the academic year. Those who did blog were in a reflective mood, writing about self-acceptance for poets, points of connection, finding balance, considering the reader, and more. Enjoy.
