I posted about Feral Journal and The Revolution Issue already, but now I’ve got the print version. And it is a gorgeous volume! I have two poems within, but I’d also love to call out poems by Mac Chamberlain and Nathan Doyle. #feral #poetry #revolution #resist

Happy to have two of my poems posted in Feral's Revolution Issue! 1. One has apocalyptic vibes. 2. The other pro-feminist. #feraljournal #poetrycommunity #apocalyptic #feminism https://t.co/dHFqt5DEOl https://t.co/SszDAibUt2

Delighted to receive my copy of @CharlestonAnvil issue 20. 20 pages of sharp, tightly packed poems and stories. I especially enjoyed the two poems by CS Crowe. My poem “unbottled” is in there too. #poetrycommunity #poetry #poetryislife

Got my copy of the #PoetrySocietyofTexas Book of the Year 2025! The first three poems are mine, “ring,” “two towers twenty-three years,” and “the film.” I also included “Blue” because that was the contest I judged, and I enjoyed it immensely. #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetrylife

I was invited to run a poetry workshop for the Poetry Society of Texas at their annual summer conference. It went well, and I got some great feedback from the participants afterward. My topic was on ambiguity. #PoetrySocietyofTexas #poetrycommunity #poetry #ambiguity

I've really loved all the literary references in Northern Exposure as I've rewatched it recently. Check out my new blog post: https://t.co/Cywgqu7emo #NorthernExposure #TV #dialogue #allusion #literaryallusion #fiction #poetry

My poem "big bang corporeal" about growing older was published in the April issue of online journal Persephone. It mentions turning 40, so it's a poem I've had for "a while." No need to do the math. #persephoneliterarymagazine #poetry https://t.co/fCdrdUuAEc

So so excited to have my poem “moonlight” in this issue of @theinterpreter6. Check out other great poets: @CorinnaBoard, Cindy Both & @SusannahJHart. Sad news as my favorite editor ever Georgi Gill steps down. But here's to their continued success. #poetry

It’s World Book Day! I picked a few books out of my library that were “wow books” for me. #WorldBookDay. What’s one of your “wow books?” #tracyksmith #chinamieville #bernardmalamud
