Thrilled to be awarded a full fellowship and residency at the Vermont Studio Center in 2027! Had a blast there years ago when working on my book Lullaby (with Exit Sign). Beautiful campus, awesome dance parties, and time and space to write. What a gift!

"Today’s poem creates a mythology out of inheritance, mirroring the repetition of narratives and lineages," Maggie (@maggiesmithpoet ) writes in today's episode of The Slowdown, number 1505.
Read "Queen of Collapse" by Hadara Bar-Nadav (@hadarabar ) — from THE ANIMAL IS CHEMICAL (@fourwaybooks ) — and our full episode transcript at the link in our bio.
WOW! My poem “Queen of Collapse” is on the SLOWDOWN” today. This poem is from my latest book, THE ANIMAL IS CHEMICAL. Thank you, thank you to Maggie Smith and the Slowdown staff. At the end of the semester, I’m feeling in the verge of collapse for real. Thank you for giving me something to smile about in a difficult time. I tell myself again and again, Remember joy. Remember joy. Poems will carry you.

"I divide my father / from being dead when / he visits in dreams."
Read Hadara Bar-Nadav's poem, "Bad Math," in the Winter 2025-26 issue of Ploughshares, available at the link in bio.
Spring break and mini family vacation in AR to breathe and see fabulous art at Crystal Bridges Museum with family. Important work to rest and recharge in these times. Art and love are survival strategies. And ice cream. ☺️
