American poetries are already shifting. What are now "internal" poetic affairs, will be exteriorized; what are now "external" matters, will be interiorized. The flow to and fro will be made sensible, even sensual. Many current luminaries will be read as the border guards of yore.

Among many new things to note the most inspiring recently came from poet Gabrielle Rucker of DERELICTION @thesongcave who “reviewed” but actually saw the soul of my first now stray chapbook, Boundary Loot, published by Rich Owen’s’ Punch Press in 2012: https://t.co/NMqzLKb9G9 💝

I’ve been off Twitter a long time but it heartens me to come and see my WIP adaptation of the 16c Cantares Mexicanos heartily embraced. Thanks @StevenRoiphe. These Cantares were honored to have a feature in @TheAmScho in their Winter issue with a stellar intro by Langdon Hammer.

@jlmoct3zuma @edgaresque @SRPR_News The interview by @edgaresque is excellent. @jlmoct3zuma really digs into his poetics over the span of his three books.
