Do any poets have beef with me? If so, I would be open to participating in a decades-long rap battle type relationship where we, every so often, publish diss poems about each other for the love of the game.

Sheesh, check out @ChisomOkafor16's poem, "synonyms for tachycardia." Amazing. "i want to look towards / the rising sun / & say into its face: / your money perish with you / for what is empathy / if not a further annihilation / of an already dead thing." thehellebore.com/chisom-okafor/

Much love to all of the poets, writers, & artists of Issue 10: Bedhead. What a triumph. Though mental health is often depicted as one dimensional, you redefine the narrative & capture the depths & highs of our emotions & lived experiences. Link: thehellebore.com/bedhead/
Isaac Akanmu retweeted
Issue 10: Bedhead is filled with dreamlike melancholy & wonder. Explore mental health, body autonomy, addiction, & neurodiversity with words by @Tanis_MacDonald, @ShannonFrostGre @HLR, @insteadofisaac, @ShikshaWrites, @The_Cline + more. Link: thehellebore.com/bedhead/

In case you had a doubt, You are a writer. You are an artist. You are a poet. Even when you are healing, resting, or simply existing. Your productivity & pace does not dictate your power. You have a voice. When you’re ready, we’re ready too. ✨
