Why do the Germans at least get Hugo Boss out of their fascism times and we get these clown-faced, coke-eyed, ill-fitting-clothes-wearing baseball-cap ruiners?

From an editorial standpoint, haibun is the worst. There are so many haibun with incredible, amazing prose-- and a recap poem tacked on at the end. Or a decent piece of descriptive writing elevated by a gorgeous poem. And it's so heartbreaking to have to scratch them off my list.

@pippaesque.bsky.social I found you in Greensboro. Thanks for the lovely moment 🧡 This really spoke to me.

Very excited to be collaborating and bringing haiga to Prune Juice Journal!

I’ve been rewatching the Coen Bros filmography this month and while drawing a Barton Fink illustration, it struck me how much their films feel like Far Side cartoons: funny, strange, clever, yet frequently inscrutable. Anyway here’s a thread!

Pippa Phillips @pippaesque.bsky.social on LANDMARK STATUS WOMAN (review in Pan Haiku Review 5): "In Japanese micropoetry, the technique of linking to a verse while also shifting away from it is an important technique– Mohr elevates it to an ideology in landmark status woman." 1/3

My girlfriend is currently legit crying about the fact they're probably not going to import the Suzuki Katana 2026 to the US. I love her so much.

Poetry, rhythm & melody. A personal thread. Not an essay or even advice When I started writing verses years ago, I was concerned by ideas & wanted to change the world. An eminent academic read my stuff & commended the 'sprung rhythms & odd music'. I was rather appalled. It seemed a trivial comment

I get a small but helpful payment every month for my Nakahara Chuya translation… but if you could purchase from the website (if you’re interested), rather than Amazon, that’s even more helpful! Thank you. brightwavemedia.com/product/chuy...
