depends on what process works for you, ultimately, but generally it's better, i think, to have desires (dreams, questions, fiery directions) for your poems than designs (set plans, firm goals)

“Imagine loneliness is a drug curing you of loneliness! This is what I believe, on this late Friday morning before the dermatologist looks at me as if I were a carpet with stains.” —Catherine Barnett, “Studies in Loneliness, iii”

Thrilled to share the news that my poem, “During the war,” was chosen as a finalist for the Founder’s Prize by the editors at @rhinopoetry.bsky.social. I wrote the poem in September. It is part of my 2nd book (in progress⚙️). I’m so happily in a generative phase, which is where I really love to be ❤︎

as a writer, it's amazing how deep and intimate my relationship with language is—and yet how difficult i find it to say things to, uh, people, anywhere

“How small it was, how brief. Brief, brief, but inside me now, which the stars could never be” Louise Glück

“You think of it like this. Like some version of the past, / but lasting a very long time.” Jenny George is unreal

Yet another day on which I need this poem. Luckily it hangs on my office wall for easy reference.

"By now, you know it was love / I walked toward" 🦌
