Everyday is New Year’s Day (even November 1st!) 🥂
no more diarrhea/ no more delusions
Back in January, we had the great privilege of being joined by some of you in two thematic poetry workshops: QUEERING RESOLUTIONS which we hosted with Unwanted Words, and HOT PEOPLE DON’T MAKE RESOLUTIONS with The Berlin Writers.
As a part of our mission to platform new writers and showcase poetic experimentation, we left an open invitation to all who participated to publish their work with us (if they were so inclined).
Today, we’re already on our NOVEMBER resolutions (or, anti-resolutions) with work by Andjela Lekovic. 🥂🥂🥂🥂
NEW YEAR NEW BITCH
aka Hot people don't make resolutions
by Andjela Lekovic (she/her)
• I won't buy new books until I finish the unread books in my library, I swear on my boyfriend! • The best way to get over a man is to GET UNDER A HOT WOMAN (to be continued) • Consciously single and tantric celibacy (its bullshit for “nobody wants me”) • I really want to go back to Prague! (Greece and Spain are always on the list) • Finish/actually start/or at least try to write my TOP SECRET PROJECT • No more diarrhea/ no more delusions/ which one is more realistic? • WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO PLAY SMALL ANYMORE, WHAT IS DESIRED BY YOU IS DESTINED FOR YOU • More magic, more rituals, more Lana • Prioritize my friendships because i've received complaints • BECOME FLUENT IN DUTCH BY THE END OF THE YEAR (me waking up 7 years later)
About Andjela:
Andjela is an international writer and storyteller based in Amsterdam. She likes to write about her experiences of womanhood, feminism, mental health, dating, sex and healing!
Happy new November everyone! That’s it for the poems we had in this series, but who knows?? Maybe Larissa and Kelly will be back on December 1st with our final new year poems and wishes… one year later! Until then,
Xoxo,
