I’ve been following River River books from afar, and I’m impressed by their ethos and care towards poets’ work (in general, not just the poets they publish) If I had a manuscript ready I’d be submitting it!

“The poems in the now-complete collection, Dear Memphis, ‘engage with a vision of commitment to diaspora,’ she says”…“it’s an ethos that requires risk. It requires rejection of Zionism.’”

Overjoyed by this new feature and conversation with Rachel Edelman in Memphis Magazine! 🌿✨ @rachelsedelman.bsky.social memphismagazine.com/culture/rach...
