An Oasis of Peace and Beauty
Karen shares her beautiful nature photography here, along with simple but gorgeously written descriptions. When my brain is foggy and can't handle reading, this is my favorite Substack to turn to. My fellow bird lovers will particularly enjoy Karen's work, so check it out!
Funny, deep, relatable stories from a dad to two, husband to one, friend to all (free for all) + BATCAVE (workshops, cowriting, "community") for paid subscribers.
I love poetry because it can hold the tensions, contradictions, and absurdities of life in a way that makes them feel a little less unwieldy. I love humor for the same reason (also - who doesn't love humor?), and Alex's Substack is both raw and hilarious.
The internet’s most intimate, illuminating interviews with today’s greatest writers—get an in-depth look into the craft of writing and what it means to be a heart-centered human in a hard world.
When I open my Substack inbox to start reading, Jane's insightful, thought-provoking, big-hearted newsletter is one of the very first ones I look for.
