Looks like noting of winter breeze that has blown great frozen world into stillness.

Kiss you yes yes!

Hannah is excited to share a new poem with all of you.

Kiss Everyone   I notice the heaviness that you make your life trying to become become become reality that isn’t                                 you yes yes   Make yourself into the freedom that is greeting you becoming                 beauty itself yes yes   Look inside to make kissing your growing treeing becoming ground that you greet treeing becoming the beauty that is kissing greeting freedom that is helping growing become you yes yes   Makes me help just help make you try to get treeing become freedom that reality                             hides yes yes  Kiss the making becoming freedom helping growth become freedom yes yes yes

Hannah would like to share some news from the last few months. 

She has co-written a collaborative poem that was just published in The Poetry Project Newsletter. You can read it here. The poem/study was written in collaboration with Sid Ghosh, Adam Wolfond, Adjua Gargi Nzinga Greaves, Lauren Russell, JJJJJerome Ellis, and Chris Martin.

The winter issue of The Paris Review has Hannah's new poem, That Is. You can still find it in bookstores.

Expedition Press, a poetry-focused letterpress printshop in Kingston, WA, has created a beautiful print of Hannah's poetry. You can find it here.

Hannah also has two new poems in the latest issue of EPOCH, a literary journal from Cornell University.

In older news, back in August of 2022, Hannah's poem "Try Try Try Really Tree" was chosen as a Poem of the Week for Zoeglossia, a literary organization for poets with disabilities. The selection was curated by heidi andrea restrepo rhodes, who writes about Hannah and other poets in an essay entitled Crip Grammars and the Fullness of 'Silence'.

Lastly, there is a new "weird and engaged translation" into Swedish of Hannah's chapbook, You Are Helping This Great Universe Explode. You can purchase the ebook here. It is entitled "Du Hjälper Detta Underbara Universum Explodera" - and it is translated, responded to, illustrated and designed by Anna Nygren, an autistic writer and artist living in Sweden. The book is full of mostly Swedish and some English. A shared, exploding universe.
