Scenes from a Broken Hand

By Andrew Ordover

Thoughts on teaching, writing, living, loving, and whatever else comes to mind

Edge|wise

By SleepyHollow

[at the border between sage & strange]

I look forward to Krista's weekly posts because I love the way her brain works, wriggling from one idea to another, connecting threads I may not have connected myself, and finding patterns and delight in words and themes.

Evil Witches Newsletter

By Claire Zulkey

We are people who happen to be mothers.

This is the only subscription I've paid for, and I've paid for it for YEARS, which I'm pretty sure says something, ha! But seriously, even more so, the name itself spoke to me, and I love LOVE Claire's wisdom and humor.

Men Yell at Me

By lyz

Written from a journalist in a red state, this newsletter is personal, political, sometimes funny and always raises hell.

Occasionally Impervious

By ZM Spalter

Essays and observations from a Brooklynite in Tokyo.

I knew this writer when we were mere wee ones working in publishing in NYC and there was a warmth and generosity and kindness in her that shone brightly and I never forgot it. She also happens to be a wonderful thinker and writer and I’m always glad to read her words.
