Over the last few days, I'm reading everything by poet @janbeatty27. Started with Mad River, loved Boneshaker and Red Sugar, and now am immersed in The Switching Yard. Gotta get the rest. Such raw, brutally honest, painfully liberating poems in language that is just beautiful.

"When my mother left me in the orphanage, / I invented love with strangers. / And if it wasn’t there, I made it be there." Read a new poem by @janbeatty27: on.theatln.tc/By3cE0K
