hi everyone,
one of my favourite poets (and one of tumblr’s favourite poets - if you’ve ever even looked at a ship graphic you’ve probably read a stanza of his work and loved it), the incomparable Richard Siken, suffered a stroke in March. his publishers, Copper Canyon Press, set up a gofundme for his medical bills and living expenses. at this point they don’t know if he’ll make a full recovery or be able to work again.
we all owe this guy a decade’s worth of back-pay for using his poems as fic titles. if you can make a donation, please do.
You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you.
Please donate if you can.
