A personal essay newsletter where the writer reflects on memory, belonging and everyday objects through short, literary pieces based on writing prompts. Each issue is a self-contained meditation drawing on personal history, such as books, a childhood mirror, or a family trip to the Arizona border.
Diedulis is a Lithuanian newsletter of reflective, literary essays that move between small everyday scenes, such as a bench by a Kaunas road or a market on a Sunday, and wider questions about loneliness, belonging and shared life. It also includes pointed political commentary, for example on a German state election, written in a personal and meditative voice.
A personal poetry site where each issue pairs a single prose poem with an AI-generated image. Poems are often previously published in literary journals and blend surreal, political and near-future imagery.
