Alyse Burnside

I wrote an essay about this beautiful book

◆Burnside, Alyse, 2025, "The Concrete Poetics of Mary Ellen Solt", Nation, March 25, 2025, (thenation.com/article/cultur…). ―❝Her writing toed the line between fine art and poetry, asking readers to think of language as a multidimensional tool of communication and politics.❞

@margaretjuhae @swamp_pink Thank you Margaret ❤️❤️

I have an essay in the latest issue of @swamp_pink, perhaps the most personal essay I’ve published. It’s about my childhood horse Shirley, who taught me all I know about love and losing love. It’s about growing up gay in Iowa, horsegirls and straight girls, and me.

This week's post of ALL MY DEAD PITCHES is dedicated to David Wojnarowicz, on what would've been his birthday weekend.

@bogusnic and I have a Substack of some of our favorite failed pitches. This pitch is dear to my heart. Its about David Wojnarowicz’s first love, long-distance relationships, and artistic anguish, among other things.

“Most people leaving the auction with new horses wore an air of something like excitement, but without obvious joy.” Alyse Burnside (@comicsanstorm) at the New Holland Sales Stables. buff.ly/3Wnv548

“Cattle graze in unpeopled fields, and in one, three Staffordshire Draft horses stood obediently, harnessed to a plow, as though posing for a painting.” Alyse Burnside (@comicsanstorm) at the New Holland Sales Stables. theparisreview.org/blog/2024/07/1…
