when I die, I want poetry tattooed on my skin,
from the bottom of my feet to the inside of my eyelids,
because I don’t know much about the afterlife,
but I always sleep better with a book in my hand.
and I won’t have to worry too much about prospective employers
then

hey hey hey! (news)
Have you ever wished, while mid-blow on your birthday candles, “Why can’t there be a place where I can see all of Ali’s writing, all the time?!”
Well, for you guys, and for anybody else who is so inclined, I have just made a sort of serious writing blog! If you’ve enjoyed anything I’ve written on Booklust, it’ll most likely make an appearance here again,...

If you’ve ever read a history textbook and cringed from its eery lack of emotion, if you’ve ever wanted to tear out its pages, one by one, because it measures time and society by wars, if you’re enraged that it turns everyone into a fictional character, then you’ve realized the immense and irreplaceable importance of artists and writers.

We Love You, Maurice Sendak
We’ve lost an amazing member of the literary community. Maurice Sendak, celebrated author of Where the Wild Things Are, passed away yesterday at the age of 83.

And I’ll never see the sign without eyes to comprehend
Sing Me
Drink Me
Breathe Me
See Me
A teacup, a consonant, a world devoid of meaning
A Solo cup, a monument, a memory just as fleeting
A 7UP, a violet, two tiny oceans bleeding
Sing Me
Drink Me
Breathe Me
See Me

Thank you guys so, so, so much—-infinitely. I never imagined that a blog about book lust and writing would resonate with so many people, and I couldn’t ask for better followers. Thank you, thank you.
Please let me know—-what can I do as a thank you? Book reviews, writing, videos, whatever you want, let me know?
