So elated today that this book has won the National Book Award in poetry. And hey, Lena is a graduate of the Rainier Writing Workshop, so the recognition feels many times sweeter. Hurray, Lena!

We've had a lot of multimedia marginalia over the years, but I think this may be our first mixtape. Today, Nida Sophasarun offers a playlist to accompany @BarotRick’s "Nectarine." #poetry #poetrycommunity #litmag 🔗 https://t.co/uJIXEGc2Or

It's pretty great to be in the packed new issue of AGNI, with a poem about visiting the Donald Judd compound in Marfa, TX...

Look back far enough and your family becomes unfamiliar, a circle of people with a fading circumference. … From "Moving the Bones," the eponymous poem in @BarotRick's (4x 01-22) new collection. Read or hear the work in the poet's voice on @POETSorg:

There are too many ancestors, so we are gathering their bones.

“My new book, Moving the Bones, has an aesthetic that I’m still trying to describe to myself. I’m not yet far away enough from the book to really see it.”
