Stick Season (poetry)

Lit Hub's National Poetry Month series spotlights "Stick Season" - one poem per post with enough framing to treat a single page as worth a slow read rather than a scroll.

The format is a quiet pushback against poetry-as-pure-content-slurry online. If you teach or edit poems, these posts model how much context a short lyric can carry when someone actually introduces it.
