Spring is upon us (it’s only Jan 26 lol). It’s time for crushes blooming from your spring awakenings. I also would be remiss not to express on my second recommendation that I am a stan of Hanif Abdurraqib.

Ariana Reines is one of my favorite contemporary poets— Coeur de Lion and Sandbook are two that I recommend often. Hanif Abdurraqib is one of my favorite contemporary poets and essayists; frankly, I would read his grocery lists— his work is incisive and plays with form and poetic structure in ways that are very interesting.

I do not need a new wardrobe, packing cubes, new toiletry bag, etc. I have everything I need. Reminding myself of this in the heat of the moment feels like coming down from a frenzy I never wanted to have in the first place.

Prosciutto, salami, etc. started in a cold pan and left to crisp and render their fat. They shrink up and become crispy and delicate and cheek-puckering in their salinity. Highly recommend accompanying with toasted bread and an over easy egg fried in the oils in the pan.
