I am so excited to share this poem and join the many many other Icarus poets. Here is my speculative ekphrastic "Flooded Landscape with the Fall of Icarus" which imagines Breughel's landscape altered by climate change. Thank you @terrainorg.bsky.social! www.terrain.org/2025/poetry/...

My old alien body is a foreigner struggling to get into another country. The loon call makes me shiver. Back at the cabin I see a book and am not quite sure what that is. Jim Harrison

Thanks @riverriverbooks.bsky.social . My classroom just got a bit cooler

Is it possible to write an erotic (intimate?) poem with a mountain? Because I think I just did?

Working on a quadtriptych, hoping to mirror a mountain range.

I’m writing a sonnet but breaking all the rules.

It's publication week for my first poetry collection. If you read poetry, you might dig it. If you don't but still want to support me and my press (the wonderful @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social), your library might want it.

So very grateful to Camas Magazine for giving my poetry space. “Landscape Fugues” is a form I’ve been playing with inspired by Jeff Parker’s ETA IVTet and Forfolks records #poetry

So excited to have a poem in the latest issue!

Harry Humes.

Last night auroras.

Stood on my first glacier today. Thanks Iceland!

Iceland seams

Our home in Iceland for the next few days

Thinking about, reading, Harry Humes tonight. What a wonderful poet

While teaching how to build voice in writing, I had students compare an Al generated poem "similar to Michael Garrigan" and one of my actual poems. One student's comparison - "The Al one felt like 'river,river,person' while yours felt like "river,river,soul" Gonna use that for my next book blurb 😂

I was working on a poem about a black bear catching shad so l felt the need to go catch one, which thankfully happened, and now I get to finish the poem

Jeff Parker and the ETA IVTet was transcendent tonight in Baltimore
