A dream 20+ years in the making. Appearing in these pages—and on that bookmark—still feels surreal. Crying happy tears right now.

Two stellar, heartfelt, moving poems from @karaknick in @havehadhavehad today.
two poems today from @karaknick, with kinda too many amazing lines to excerpt!! how about just a tease of the two amazing titles? "Upon Learning They Will Stop Production of the Penny" & "All The Reasons Why I Am Buying a Cemetery Plot in My 30’s" https://t.co/VFP4kYa28F

“…thinking about time, how there’s never enough of it…” This wonderful piece by @jadjosey in @havehadhavehad. 🔥
such a perfect, fun, beautiful playing with conceit and form today from @jadjosey "Hi, what are you doing?" "I’ve been mostly watching the ocean, counting the messengers of light that descend through the clouds, thinking about time ..." https://t.co/wrtbNsZ89O

Always a good day when there's a new @toddedillard poem in the world. Even better when it's in @havehadhavehad.
new @toddedillard on HAD always a treat of a day! read the poem Todd said about, "I wanted the poem to look a little barfy, so the odd indent as the lines lengthen are fine IMO" "It's all coming up now, milkweed and mango, grandmothers in kitchens..." https://t.co/kpEGGM2EES

I know there’s the school of “separate the art from the artist,” and I fully understand historical context and era and all that. But if we’re alive now, together, and you’re a shitty human—I will absolutely never read your work and will make sure you know it.

WILD.
Aaaaand... FULL! Prose pulled out to an early lead, but then they flipped somewhere halfway through and Poetry closed first, in ~3 minutes, with Prose coming in maybe a minute/90 seconds later.

Excited to make a late-night toast. Burn the absolute hell out of said toast. Immediately think of @toddedillard. That, friends, is a legacy.
