Seen in an old cookbook, a recipe that resonates with me today.

¡Genial! ¡Qué honor!

New York City fiction by Eric Darton in Cable Street. Sweet vibes here: “The bricks are calm but keep your eyes on a spot and you’ll see their chroma shift – like chameleons they are – all the while maintaining their shape.”

Naoko Fujimoto’s new book of illustrated translations of Japanese female poets arrived yesterday! Two of Fujimoto’s poems and images appeared in a Cable Street anthology. This book, from @tupelopress.bsky.social is gorgeous—overjoyed to own a copy… (1/2)

Reading a poem by WS MERWIN.

Delighted to be part of this issue from @illinoispress.bsky.social 🇺🇸🇮🇹❤️— I have a poem about my grandmother in it.

Ok, I did a free website. I think I am done promoting myself for the next ten years now. Yes I know it still says Canva in the link, but I refuse to pay for a website until writing actually pays me. sljohnson.my.canva.site

It’s my birthday soon—and this! Rare, non-simultaneous submission (because, my brain, and I don’t use spreadsheets, etc). 🎉🎉🎉

Yesterday, I wrote four haiku, a haibun, three tanka, a sixty-five line canzone and a sestina. Not one is good enough to publish. But that’s not why I wrote them. I wrote to feel their difficulty, to let their urgent rhythms get under my skin, to learn. Next time I write, I hope to sense their power

I’m reading The Poetics of Reverie by Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) and I am wonderstruck. How beautifully Bachelard could articulate how art and his environment made him feel! Same for the writers he quotes. Mass media and the internet have taken that kind of sensitivity away from us. 😞
