So happy to announce that @dlseuss's "four-legged girl" in Italian translation is coming soon. Thank you to Diane for the trust and love. Thank you to Adelaide Basile for being my translating partner-in-crime. Thank you to Ensemble Edizioni, my publisher. #DianeSeuss #HerKind

"How many rounds of how could you do this to me? can I traverse, in blindfolded travels of pain, of pain, before I lose my mind? Not many more. I have to learn to disdain hope, dispense with its sickness of seductions: there is no you."

The Fall Edition of Menacing Hedge 2021 has arrived. @brooks_barbour @nonvanilla @lorelei.bacht.writer @laurendp_writes menacinghedge.com

@djvorreyer @MenacingHedge You would be such an essential participant. <3

@KMenacing @MenacingHedge That sounds amazing!

Tomorrow will be the release of the Fall 2021 Edition of Menacing Hedge. We really want to do a Ten-Year Anniversary reading and rent a theater for the event. Everyone who wants to read can read - either live or by Zoom on a big screen. @MenacingHedge

"I run my tongue over your lips to seize new words. My throat has an upholstered constellation of slings for weapons now. The gift is all mine". @alessandrabava @MenacingHedge menacinghedge.com/spring2021/ent…

@SarahKSilverman Yeah Mr. T. C. ! And while we are at it, let's treat women as chattel and remove their rights to their own bodies. LOL. Good times.

It’s not political to use a word that includes everyone. You’re making it political by getting your panties in a bunch about it. Why do you hate a gesture of inclusion caused by a single word? Why you gotta make a big stink, Poopy?

"After his shower, he wrote something on the bathroom mirror. Now I know I’m going to have to beg for it. The sheets of this bed. They have me figured out. Make sure you open my mouth and look all the way down before you leave. You won’t believe what you see" -Ann Pedone

It has been a bleak Covid summer. We cancelled the summer edition of Menacing Hedge, but all of the writers so graciously allowed their work to be in the Fall Edition, which will go forward. Thank you so much and so sorry. Summer was our ten year anniversary. @MenacingHedge

"I look at the imprint of that life, the early mornings, or late nights in motels, eating with a line of men all of us laughing, none of them asking why are you out here, little girl, driving in the dark on the freeway" - from Spring I, by @bloomersea @MenacingHedge

"I want to brag that he does not burn toast in the office toaster. That with him, I don't need glasses. I go to him with my naked eye. In fact, I want to say that the glasses no longer work at all, and that I am seeing death tolls on the television again". @justinecteu

"You present yourself over the threshold (let us imagine) like a dissident and her happiness sounds like a muffled strangulation (we imagine, further). You are like a grenade in her life, thrown from a distance". *Michelle Reale @MenacingHedge

@writesforlife Small breasts. @writescards

@dvillella @MayorGinther Exactly what I came here to say. A murdered CHILD.

@MayorGinther A 15 year old is a CHILD, not a young woman. She didn't 'lose' her life, she was shot 4 times.

This afternoon a young woman tragically lost her life. We do not know all of the details. There is body-worn camera footage of the incident. We are working to review it as soon as possible. BCI is on the scene conducting an independent investigation . . .
