Welcome everyone,

I’m Yardena Schwersky, a poet from central Florida. And this here newsletter is a weekly-ish dispatch filled with poetry, poetry-adjacent prose, and somewhat meandering letters on…well…being. Topics include life, death, nature, community, chronic illness, beauty, and the murky depths of the inner self. Posts generally go out every weekend, although sometimes I skip a week if I have nothing meaningful to say. (I think we could all do better at occasionally shutting up.)

The weekend posts will always be free, but paying subscribers will also receive access to two monthly bonus columns. Monthly Considerations is a collection of poetic musings on each month, and The Sad Poets Society is like a book club for individual poems. Subscriptions are $5/month or $50/year.

Thanks so much for being here,
Yardena
