I am stealing Elizabeth O'Rourke's gorgeous structure and skillful enjambment in her beautiful poem, "I Have Done Small Things" :: "have closed up/the tear where the down spilled out of my daughter’s winter coat" @MERliterary.

@MERliterary thank you for publishing this. It's deliciously complicated and beautiful. What a satisfying read this morning.

I'm reading this essay, from Mom Egg Review, with my four-week-old infant wrapped to my chest. "How when I’m alone the silence is nearly frightening." Myth of Motherhood Poetics by Jennifer Givhan

My review of Eileen Cleary's strange and gorgeous book of poems, "2 a.m. with Keats" came out with Tupelo Quarterly! @QuarterlyTupelo @cleary_eileen

My review of Shilo Niziolek's ghostly and beautiful memoir came out today with Compulsive Reader:

"Because I cannot touch you, I smell the insides of my hands. The smell is an egg, just cracked." from Sara Elkamel's gorgeous poem. Oh! The water imagery paired with death, the structure, the slow climb to the last line. @salthilljournal @SaraFarag

Happy to see my review of Jackie Wang's "The Sunflower Cast a Spell to Save Us from the Void" on North of Oxford: @LoneberryWang.

I very much enjoyed this review by Mindy Kronenberg of Allison Blevin's "Slowly/Suddenly" and just requested it from my library. "I’ve eaten your heart. I’ve eaten myself eating your heart. Don’t worry. I gather your tears and eat those too." -Blevins.

Aubade means a morning love song. I love this skillful enjambment and melodic symphony of words in "Aubade with Hope" by @flourish_joshua @PalettePoetry.

I inhaled Cheryl Klein's suspenseful memoir. As someone navigating both adoption and infertility, it felt like she was writing parts of my own life. Read my review here: @cherylekleinLA @brownpaperpress

This poem is a beautiful, brutal force. Isha Camara's reading of it is gorgeous: @isathepoet @MuzzleMagazine.

Just discovered Deborah Landau. “Skeleton” and “Flesh” bruise me, unbalance me, reposition me and scare me. Wow. via @NewYorker.

This is a personal essay (possibly a lyric essay) I wrote about my dad. So happy to have it published in 805 Lit and Art!.

RT @805Lit: “The cat tails loft upward, moving in the breeze. This is a place of light, where we are made of light, where we float on water….

Feel like reading poems about sad and beautiful wonder? Here's my review of Lawrence Raab's book "April at the Ruins" @tupelopress

@emmabo thank you for this.

Love this poem by Emma Bolden. It hits me with a brick over the head and then heals me better than before. I’m Building a House

So happy to see my review of Corey Van Landingham's book of poems, "Love Letter to Who Owns the Heavens" come out with North of Oxford! @tupelopress

Just read Emily Leithauser's poem "Cardiac Flicker." Her lyric decisions give a beautifully blunt tone about the trauma of miscarriage and allow the poem to have a controlled yet fiery force. Just asked my library to buy her book. @emilyleithauser.
