WOW. A teacher just told me, "I gave one of my 2nd grade (dyslexic) students your nature poetry prompt. He is reluctant to write because of challenges with spelling, but I suspect he’s gifted. I told him just to write and we’d sort out the spelling later. This is what he wrote."

Whenever I stop by a city to give a reading, I duck into the local bookstores & leave little notes in some of my books for poetry readers. Here we are in Cambridge. 🕯️

For all the Giants fans out there, you can blame @BarstoolBigCat for the loss last week thanks to a single text he sent. @PFFShow presented by @ChevyTrucks

This poem appeared in the poem-a-day program from The Academy of American Poets (@POETSorg) and was later collected in The Crossing (2018). I hope it finds its way to you.

These words were too late for a dear friend who left too soon, but I offer them in the hope that they're not too late for someone. Break the stigma. Talk about the pain. Stay.

Thank you, everyone, for all your beautiful messages. I've picked the winner at random from those who entered across all my platforms, and the book is on its way. I wish I could do more of these so everyone could get a free book. I hope the work I do gives everyone something. 🙏🏼

Six years ago, the photographer @LindaIbbotson found me howling poems in NYC. I didn't know someone could take a photo of my soul.

Hymn by @Joseph_Fasano_. Such a beauty. Found myself returning to this poem every time. Here is me reading the poem.

I'm giving away a signed copy of The Swallows of Lunetto, my novel about fascism in Italy, because I think we need to understand how the madness can happen anywhere. Just leave a like/comment so I see you, and I'll drop your name in the hat. I hope this book holds its little 🕯️.
