And preorder Jameela’s debut Encounters for the Living and the Dead, here: riverriverbooks.org/store/-Preor...

Of scent in ekphrasis, of touching sculptures in your mind, of eating oysters from across the globe, of travel as a southerner, of cosmopolitanism versus belonging, of Easter socks & oyster frills, of Matisse & filtering emotion & so much more. Listen to Episode 77 with Jameela F. Dallis! 🎙️💙📚

Summer reading: CERTAIN SHELTER by @abbiekiefer.bsky.social (@juneroadpress.bsky.social, 2024). Here are poems for a mother, “All These Things I Can’t Remember” & a father, “I Don’t Like Baseball, Just the Red Sox.” I recommend the @ofpoetrypodcast.bsky.social about this incredible debut. ♥️

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.

Grateful for the @ofpoetrypodcast.bsky.social back catalog today for introducing me to Tom Snarsky and Carla Sofia Ferreira, and for reminding me to be a writer again after too much time away from that version of myself.

This is the podcast I was listening to yesterday walking on the beach. It got me thinking about sounds of place. Florida doesn't sound like Pennsylvania and its worth paying attention to @victoriagarciamendoza and how she locates her words. #poetry #poetrypodcast #poetrysky #senseofplace
