Truly can't believe 2025 is basically over or that I managed to write at all, so I guess I'll celebrate that, if nothing else. We still have poetry. My second full-length—Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social—came out in March and has a life of its own. nupress.northwestern.edu/978081014833...

Swing by!

I wrote a little something for the @nupress.bsky.social blog. “Remember the sacrament of that first library card, winning the summer reading challenge, the feeling even now of picking up an interlibrary loan…” Read more here: nupress.northwestern.edu/blog/2025/03...

Come hang with me at #awp! Offsite: Decadent and Defiant—Celebrating 10 Years of Foglifter (Tabula Rasa Wine Bar, 3/27 7 p.m.) Panel: How to Serve Queer & Trans Writing: Learning from Ten Years of Foglifter (3/28 3:20 p.m.)

Today’s the day—Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social is officially here (order: tinyurl.com/38s73wez)! It’s hard to access good feelings at a time like this, but I find them easily when I think of the love and support that surrounded me while I wrote this book 🧵🪡

I don't know how to talk about poetry at a time like this, but I'll keep trying. Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social, is out March 15th. If you're an teacher, I’d love to talk to your class. If you're a podcaster, I want to be on your show. If you host a reading series, LMK! tinyurl.com/38s73wez

Feels like nothing good will ever happen again, so it's hard to believe that Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social is out in a month. If you’ve already preordered, consider asking a library to purchase it. I LOVE libraries and democracy and small good things we can still do: tinyurl.com/38s73wez

What beautiful and surreal experience to see my new book in the hands of people whose poetry I just absolutely ADORE 💕

I don't have anything helpful to say about the horrors, but I'm living them too and I would very much like you to preorder my next book, Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social: nupress.northwestern.edu/978081014833... And here’s a very nice thing Emilia Phillips said about it:

Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social comes out in two months and preorders are open! So grateful to the journals that first published some of these poems, and you can even read a few online: “At Love's Truck Stop, Laramie, WY," @southeastreview.bsky.social: www.southeastreview.org/single-post/...

My final pub of the year—a painful little poem in Poetry Northwest. Grateful to be in this wonderful journal again and alongside so many poets I admire.

A lot is going on and most of it terrible, but if you'll allow a little joy—Mud in Our Mouths @nupress.bsky.social is availble for preorder! Presales are important, so order now if you can, and I hope you enjoy this book I've poured so much of myself into: nupress.northwestern.edu/978081014833...

Have you read my first book? Diane Suess said some very nice things about it!
