Happy 2026 - a year of intention, of art, of rebellion, of love. The 2nd of 2 new poetry chapbook cover reveals & pre-order openings: Danielle McMahon's irl "captures the agony and ecstasy of being seen as a young person." @the-engine-idling.bsky.social www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

Your writing prompt for today: fill in the blanks.

I was so lucky to be among the very first readers of Danielle McMahon's irl. You'll read it in an evening, but think about it long afterwards!

I love this movie so much and also this is me: Equally useless at writing and day job, in search of fictional towns outside Scranton, obsessed with Frances McDormand.

Can you start a themed lit mag just so you can curate a never ending selection of the kind of writing you want to read? Asking for a friend

Also, if you would like a signed copy of The Last Analog Teenagers for the elder millennial in your life, hit me up -- I have a few copies on hand and plenty of time to ship before Christmas.

I'm excited to read this and so many of the upcoming @stanchion.bsky.social titles that I signed up for the book club for the second year in a row. The book club gets you about $4-6 off each book, plus thoughtfully curated bonus items -- a lovely holiday gift for the reader in your life.

you will be visited by 3 spirits

From "I barely knew him" to "I definitely don't remember drawing those things in his personalized birthday gift" to "I was extremely professional while I hung out with him while I was President" to

(Text) Messages from the Angel Gabriel can be read in less than an afternoon, but you'll reach for it again. An excellent value and excellent book.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Scorpio: You’ll wake up with a feeling of doom and ennui. Don’t be overly concerned. Eventually the sun will envelop the earth.

"The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the 'most wealthy person in the world.'"

"The touch of their bodies, I would never think of marble" I love the way this poem by @megmcdermott92.bsky.social warms up a sort-of ekphrasis.

I read 2 poems this year that made me immediately buy the respective collections and then some: Marie Howe's "Magdalene: The Addict" (1/2)

He is the pasture where the lambs play, / He is the stones that make the brook sing, / He is the breath, I am the flute, / Together our fingers shape the notes. (Eugene Warren, 1985) sojo.net/magazine/apr...

If you’re in line to feel good and hopeful for just five fucking minutes, STAY IN LINE

I'd been knocking on @psalteryandlyre.bsky.social 's door for a long time, and I was so honored that they chose to publish "Sea Glass, Yellow Basket" -- my 2nd BotN nom is just the icing on the cake. Thanks to Millie and her team! You can read it here: psalteryandlyre.org/2025/06/16/s...

I'm very excited to have some of my pottery featured with Lover's Eye Press, in a special folio celebrating David Lynch. www.loverseyepress.com/post/art-by-...

This is what ICE does to unarmed, traumatized civilians not in their custody and posing no physical threat. Now imagine what they do to detained immigrants.

Shana tovah to my Jewish friends and good luck in tomorrow’s Rapture to my Christian ones

Spending the morning with TLAT at the Abington Community Library Local Author Fair!

This poem would have made a perfect epigraph for The Last Analog Teenagers! Love this BotN-nominated piece by @maudiemichelle.com

The Kirkus Indie review of The Last Analog Teenagers will be featured in the November 2025 print issue. Don't you want to say you read it when it was just a lil book you had to hear about on the socials? Sure you do! Link in replies!

I did an interview with my college paper about The Last Analog Teenagers in advance of my reading there tonight! NEPA folks, come on down. Details in link. crown.kings.edu?p=14040

So glad this piece landed with @reckonreview.bsky.social -- I've admired both their literary publications and their terrific Wind and Root columns for a while now.

Just finished Ethan Hawke and Me by @andrewbertaina.bsky.social and really enjoyed it. Tackles tough topics with honesty but hard-earned hope while taking a rich stroll through the lovely Before films. bookshop.org/p/books/etha...

As a fellow '90s teen, this piece gave such lovely and sad chills. @pleomorphic2.bsky.social captured how this album felt so perfectly.

The Last Analog Teenagers has been out in the world for 3 months now, and people like it! ✅"Get It," Kirkus Indie: "In nine interlocking tales, Myers delivers a poignant coming-of-age story set at the turn of the 21st century...compelling...intriguing overarching narrative."

Conventional wisdom recommends against reading one's own reviews, and while I strenuously avoided doing so for my mental health, I am not sure if you can be a self-promoting indie author and keep it up indefinitely. (This is to say, review thread incoming.)

I have a new tiny story in @havehashad.com today about fleeting connections. thanks as always to @aaronburch.bsky.social, one of the best editors around, & to all of you who read this one ♡ 💀 🪦 ♡ www.havehashad.com/hadposts/our...

I'm working on another prompted story for this year since I loved Trashies so much last year! Don't miss the window from @trashcatlit.bsky.social !

Thanks @bookshelfie.bsky.social for the lovely and thoughtful review of The Last Analog Teenagers! book-shelfie.com/review/the-l...

Has Bluesky made it to NEPA? If you're reading this and you're in the part of the world often described as "you know, like The Office," I'm reading from The Last Analog Teenagers in the book's spiritual home tomorrow night. Free to attend.

Still offering up a bundle that stradles two eras of Stanchion Magazine, in print & PDFs for $20. That's 184 pages of poetry, prose & photography from talented people who were each paid for their work and weren't made to pay a fee. What a novel idea! www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

Today is the Feast of the Transfiguration, making it the perfect day to reshare my essay of the same name. It's a deeply personal piece and I thank Atlas and Alice for bringing it to the world. atlasandalice.com/2024/09/23/n...

I don't remember the last time I read something that had me literally sobbing uncontrollably. Andrea Gibson's "When Death Came to Visit." andreagibson.substack.com/p/when-death...

Ty @tracyroyce.bsky.social -- I love this little piece and I'm glad you did too. 💙

I made friends with this bird on the LIRR long enough to catch it and release it at the next station. This is one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me.

I went to the Diane Arbus show at the Park Avenue Armory yesterday, 454 photographs all titled in this format. I am going to post some of my favorites in the 🧵 below. Any one of these would make an excellent short story title.

I'm really excited to be part of @marchxness.bsky.social and to be writing about this beautiful song! Thanks for this amazing opportunity!

I hadn't thought of this song in years -- it does indeed make for a great setting. Nice job, @thaddevassie.bsky.social in @major7mag.bsky.social

I just submitted a story to a certain notoriously exclusive publication. Checking my records, I love the hubris of 25-year-old me who submitted to them once before, way back in 2008, with a story that was definitely not right for them.

New Story Day!!!! I’ve been submitting to Milk Candy Review since 2019, and today my new flash piece, Maybe Someday I’ll Stop Writing About A House On The Border Of A Swamp, comes out!!!! Proud of the weird little meta flash piece :) milkcandyreview.home.blog/2025/07/10/m...

The Last Analog Teenagers just turned one month old! It's substantially easier to look after than a human one-month-old, thank goodness. Buy a copy -- you won't have to feed it at three a.m.! www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

Since I'm a marketing genius, I haven't updated my website since before the book came out. Up to date with book info, recent pubs, and noms. Check it out? abigailmyers.com
