Happy August, bookworms!
It’s the first Monday of the month which means it’s time for our monthly Subscriber Writing Roundup!
But, before we get stuck into links, last week we featured three great pieces here on BTMU:
- ’s look at Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls Wilder
- ’s essay on Poems for Children and Other People, edited by George Hornby
- ’s look at Fahrenheit-451 by Ray Bradbury
We’re also recommending three excellent substacks this week:
- ’s — New ways of seeing from artist and poet Sal Randolph
- ’s — What you don't know can and will be used against you.
- ’s — Nomad writer, I collect stories wherever I go, deepening my connection to Mother Earth and the inner rocky landscape of myself. Scoliosis warrior memoirist, I write down the twisted asymmetrical bones of me, gratefully living my creative dream.
Now onto the subscriber writing. What follows are 28 links to great pieces of writing from BTMU subscribers. From thoughts on wealth and children to finding beauty in death, from Taylor Swift to saving democracy, there’s something for everyone.
