I just found out about a new (to me) online poetry journal, Stone Telling. My friend Sofia Samatar has a poem in it which especially interested me because it was about Henrietta Swan Leavitt, a heroine to women in astronomy. I also really enjoyed the structure of this poem, with its riffs on academic conventions.
Sofia has published another poem, The Sand Diviner, in a past issue of the magazine. Reading it took me back to a time when I devoured the Rubaiyyat and anything set in that area of the world.
