Antae Third Issue // Cody Stetzel is a Seattle resident working within arts organizing. They are a literary critic in journals like Tupelo Quarterly and The Colorado Review, offering insights on contemporary queer poetry and poetry-in-translation. [...]

Itβs about deciding what survives when language changes and moves into this third-space beyond explanation and interpretation.

Oh I love this reading list! Have you read Patrycja Humienikβs We Contain Landscapes? Polish-American but a fantastic collection on Polish heritage in my opinion!

You and your words build community, and community will support you.
This is what I learn with every moment of engaging with writers and artists, poets and essayists. Our people are scaffolding for each other. And we are all constructing something marvelous, something beautiful.

Reading poetry is a way of grasping life, nurturing every bit of good, connecting up severed bits of ourselves.
I like to think if you hold out your hand long enough, a bird might simply perch there.
Sometimes the act of creation is a kind of divine insistence on remembering.
The fact that writing cultivates more writing for me excites me. A neverending process toward purpose and fulfillment is a neverending effort toward happiness.

This week on my substack you can find writing on Kate Zambreno and Jacques Derrida, wrongness and greed, rudeness and screencaptures, and, you know, these beautiful things, all of them.
