Of the color green, of Klimt and Kahlo, of water and horticulture, of Poland and Austria and Southbend, of Diane Seuss and the Great Lakes, of Jamaica and love poems and writing through precarious seasons. New episode with @nataliesolmer.bsky.social! 📚💙🎙️ #poetry #podcast #booksky

Editing @ofpoetrypodcast.bsky.social, starting to daydream when I hear myself say “…and I don’t feel bad saying that” and I WAKE UP like oh no what did I just say 🎭

"We took notes on love, made gods of want." From the play on the epigraph—"The text is a limited field of possible constructions" (Ricoer)—to the photos & the brilliant poems I love everything about E.G. Cunningham's FIELD NOTES 💖 @riverriverbooks.bsky.social hitting it out of the ballpark 😍 📚💙

Listening to @sarahgreenpoet.bsky.social read “Blueberries for Sal” made me cry into my morning tay.

Of colliding climates of grief, of the hidden qualities of stanzas, of not fiction but possibility, of Blueberries for Sal & Italian squares & how words work with the world & writing heavy things lightly & more! Episode 79 with @sarahgreenpoet.bsky.social is here! @uakronpress.bsky.social 🎙️📚💙

Read full poem and listen to Episode 75 here: ofpoetrypodcast.com/2025/07/17/e... @christenkauffman.bsky.social @ghostpeachpress.bsky.social

A wonderful episode, that got me thinking hard about how poets of appetite are often poets who are deeply engaged elsewhere with caregiving -- and the way that 'feeding' yourself, as an artist, actually frees up more space to see and respond to the needs of other people.

Friday Links is UP! Featuring @heatherchristle.bsky.social @juscarts.com @jabariadavis.bsky.social @hanvanderhart.bsky.social @ofpoetrypodcast.bsky.social @upfromsumdirt.bsky.social @inadarkwood.bsky.social and MORE! www.lazyandentitled.org?p=162657414
