A newsletter about lifelines, creativity, hope, joy, grief, second chances and poetry.

Dreamy & edgy. Romantic & sharp. Evocative, nostalgic & lyrically sensual – Brooke Solis is a writer, author, and artist who writes poetry, memoir, and personal essays. NEW BOOK COMING IN 2026 🕰️

Brooke is on sabbatical from her substack so no new posts for awhile, but her writing is still my favorite on the internet.

Both Are True

By Alex Dobrenko

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.

Alex's work is always well-written, thought(and discussion)-provoking, and hilarious.
