What's up Wednesday

Hello readers!

Let's kick it off! What I'm Reading

So much more than last week!
1. I read the third book in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series.
2. I read the ARC of UNBREATHABLE by Hafsah!
3. I'm about to read the ARC of ULTRAVIOLET CATASTROPHE by Jamie Grey!

What I'm Writing

Even though there is still bits and pieces left for DECIDING HIJAB I'm putting it aside finally! I've worked on it for so long. And I finally got a new idea and so I'm working on a new WIP!

What Inspires Me Right Now

My new WIP. All the August Moon prompts.

What Else I've Been Up To

The release date has been revealed. A cover reveal is in place. So is a poetry blogfest and blog tour! You can check out the details in my previous post.

Thank you and love,

P.S. Do you know Casey Ho has a blogilates app?! I just got it! Also, I have a website! http://fidaislaih.wix.com/fislaih

Upcoming Poetry Reads of 2021, Part 2

Hello Poetteers,  I'm sharing more poetry books I discovered and am excited to read! March Coming Home to Her By Emily Juniper It is a celebration of being human. It is a coming out journey, an exploration of sexuality, femininity, loving, and being loved. How to Bloom By Tatyana White Jenkins A collection of poems about the enthralling, complex, grueling, and beautiful journey of growth. April The Gravity Inside Us By Chloe Frayne  An ode to whatever it is we carry that pulls us in and out of place, and speaks so insistently of fate. The Medicine That Burns by Molly S Hillery It is a raw declaration on what a life of trauma can look like after the dust settles and the poems have happy endings. It is an unflinching narrative on how hurt is cyclical, how recovery must be redefined repeatedly, and how shame can poison us in the worst ways. I See How You've Kept Me by Aisha Adams A debut poetry book that takes you through a journey of brokenness to reach complete healing. May The

Publishers That Publish Poetry Books

Hello Poetteers, As I was doing my own research for poetry publishers this question popped up on my feed: Does anyone know any publishers that publish poetry books? Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more.  Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler.  Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc  Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more.  Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more.  Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and more. Glass Poetry Press

Ten Poetry Instagram Accounts to Follow

Hello Poetteers, I've been loving Instagram lately. It's filled with beautiful pictures and words that are inspiring me. So here is ten poetry Instagram accounts i've been following and you should follow to.  @thepaintedladysings I recently started following her. Along with her poems is awesome sketches.  @isra.althibeh She has a simplistic black and white theme but that adds to the poems she shares. Her poems are short but powerful.  @_navk His poems are amazing and puts love together in a beautiful way.  @tylerknott Most of his poems are in haiku. He is known for his typewriter series. What makes him stand you is his handwritten poems and that he pictures it with where he's at.  @rmdrk His poems are just awesome! This one is one of my many favorites.  @shirazien I've been following Noor for a while and her poems feel like a big, warm hug.  @thepoetrystore Most of her
