Anne Marie Wells Writerly Newsletter September 2026
Hi Writers,Well, an update on my Sealey Challenge aspirations: I fell short once again. I forgot to read one day on August 22. Alas. But you know what? I read far more poetry than I have in a long time. Even though I didn’t attain my goal, I still benefited from everything I did while trying, which is a net win in my book. I’ll try again next year.
Speaking of books, it’s been a while since I’v

I have read this book 472 times over the last 10 years, and it is a book I am genuinely very proud of. Even on my last read, I was laughing out loud, I was tearing up. I hope future readers find it to be a fun, armchair-travel story and that it inspi

| Absolutely loved this book. The way the author braided the strands of archeology, history, and folklore to create a comprehensive timeline and story of Gudrid's life was so interesting. I loved learning about every part that went into the making of t ...more | |

| I window into a world that most people aren't familiar with. Informative and humanizing. It is impossible to capture every experience of disability in the world, but this book succeeds at dismantling the monolith of "people with disabilities" that so ...more | |

| An interesting concept, however, the thing that fell flat for me was that each piece was read by that piece's author, and unfortunately some authors have the skill to write, but they lack the skill to be an interesting oral storyteller. I found mysel ...more | |

| A very sweet story centering Krummi, the raven. I loved the way the author created Raven Folklore from real historical events and Norse mythology. Very clever! I also appreciated the glossary at the end of the book. I think it would be a great story ...more | |
“I feel disconnected from the people who I know have not experienced the exposed nerves of a close loved one yanked by pliers from one's jaws. I am different from them now. They can’t know the festering wound staining my teeth red, can't know the taste of salt and iron in everything I eat.”

“I am a ghost town, my body still exists among the remnants and relics, but no one lives here anymore. The locals moved out with the post office. The shelves at the corner store stand as tombstones marking the prices of items
that once waited for hands to toss them in their basket. Spiders and the remains of their kills fill the fluorescent lights. The crows don’t even stop on the wires when they fly over.”

“I never thought I would feel lucky to have pain dripping from my pores, pain stuck to the pads of my fingers, to the bottoms of my feet, to have pain become the core of my identity in an instant, but here I am.”

“I was a curious boy, but the schools were not concerned in curiosity. They were concerned in compliance... 60% of all black men who drop out of school end up in jail. This should disgrace our country, but it does not.”

“I read about Queen Nzinga who ruled in Central Africa in the 16th century resisting the Portuguese. I read about her negotiating with the Dutch. When the Dutch Ambassador tried to humiliate her by refusing her a seat Nzinga had shown her power by ordering one of her advisers to all fours to make a human chair of her body. That was the kind of power I saw. and the story of our own royalty became for me a weapon.”
