Order Are You There: badbettypress.com/product/are-yo…

so excited for this! so nervous! so afraid! so happy!

Out 25th April ✨

Are You There by sam refracts contemporary melancholia into iridescent lyricism, testing how far, in space and time, a connection will travel. Alive with the spiky humour of brutal self-awareness, aglow with startling new language.

Thanks Ian McMillan for sharing this poem from sam’s Are You There - out later this month 💫💫💫

I like this poem of identity and possibility by Samantha Fain from her new ⁦Bad Betty Press⁩ collection Are You There. ‘In aching I am mine.’

insane that today wasn't a federal holiday, cannot think of anything more important we can do in this life than sit outside with a bunch of people and scream at the sky together in awe

My fault for posting during eclipse. Retweet now

this is why we’re alive btw

if there is one thing that is going to make me feel holy, it’s being in community with millions of strangers watching the sky. everyone clapping at the moon doing the lord’s work. making a little free galaxy bracelet while I eat a sandwich on a picnic blanket.

you gotta take your happiness as seriously as you take your sadness

this is actually a cool comparison in terms of re-marketing and making poetry more accessible to readers who don’t read poets beyond rupi kaur. a win and a slay!
