Tomorrow!!! I hope to see many of you attend the actual (& virtual) launch of my new book!!!

Damn, it’s now been 10 years since the Cavs beat the Warriors and won their first ever championship. 🥲 I’ll never forget it - or the parade later that week.

the recording of last night’s reading is now live!! this was such a fantastic event featuring @mrdecember.bsky.social , Zuleyha Ozturk, Nora Rawn, @burialmagazine.bsky.social, tiny poems, long poems, new shit, & old shit read aloud for the first time so it became new shit too. check it out below! 💡📼

Tonight!! Come join us!! I may be somewhat comatose after being woken up by next door's roof replacement hooray!!

sooooo what's the point in doing ump and ref perspective cams now? do they really think we want to see that perspective?! all I'm getting each time is a mix of light nausea and a headache...

Commentator: "He's probably the smallest player on the pitch." Goes and checks João Neves' height. 5'9" 🤨

Tomorrow evening! I'll be reading a handful of poems from "It's Easy to Lose Your Breath"! And there'll still be some light outside because sunset's at 9pm in mid-June in CLE :-)

Reaching out to friends & acquaintances today about my virtual readings & so many are like "I didn't see your post!" -- which is so bothersome. Makes sharing events w/friends & people outside of social media all the more important because social media is rotten across the board on all platforms now.

Cape Verde keeper is in his 40s, so there's a chance he's on bluesky

Update: We pushed publication to Feb. 2027. While you wait, I recommend the new books from @ralpheeboi.bsky.social, @pochoboymeetsworld.bsky.social, @janezwart.bsky.social, @clairemtaylor.com, @mrdecember.bsky.social, and soooo many more but those 5 are in a stack right in front of me.

Three virtual readings over the next few weeks: -- Night Light, Thursday at 9pm -- A book release party w/ Match Factory Editions 6/23 at 7:30pm -- A Hundred Pitchers of Honey 7/9 at 7:30pm If you need assistance with registering, let me know. Hope to see you at one (or more!) of these events. 💙🩷🩶

The Knicks only lost one game in the last two months and it was the one Trump went to lmao

Correction: the Cavs opened it in June of 2016. The Indians winning would have closed it back up.

Now José Ramírez is likely out for a few months. 😭 Just continued evidence that God hates Cleveland.

Love how the James Harden trade is turning into the gift that keeps on giving. 😵‍💫

happy June everyone!! I am so excited for this reading coming up in less than a week’s time, featuring Kevin A. Risner @mrdecember.bsky.social, Zuleyha Ozturk, Nora Rawn, & Z.H. Gill @burialmagazine.bsky.social! sign up below for this unmissable event, I look forward to seeing you there~

Having an open-air UFC match in front of the White House in the middle of June. You'd think they would have thought about the possible climatological risks involved hosting it then... right?! 😵‍💫

After a few days away, I’m back home to unbox my books! Thank you to my wife, Mary, for doing an impromptu photo shoot & videoing me opening my briefcase of books! Yes. I’m wearing a The National shirt. Are you surprised? 😂 Thanks again to @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social! The book looks amazing!

Hey, hey, less than a month away! Don't miss four fabulous readers on July 9th - register now for the Zoom link and we'll send you a reminder on the day! - @mrdecember.bsky.social @bernadettegeyer.bsky.social @ignatius2u.bsky.social & David Sullivan us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Happy birthday to ‘Jurassic Park,’ which was a milestone in ways both big and small:

lmao

Invite Trump, you lose. Invite Wu Tang, you win. The math is the math.

Seeing the situation at halftime, I thought yeah that’s it for the Knicks for tonight … but you know what would REALLY be wild… 🤭

COVER REVEAL: I'm super excited to share the cover of my story collection After Last Call, coming out next April from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social. And thanks to @mrwojorising.bsky.social for the amazing work he did designing the cover 💙 Pre-order link: malarkeybooks.com/store/afterl...

I was about to submit to a journal, & as I was rereading their requirements for submission, they said to wait SIX MONTHS before submitting (even if that submission was rejected). I submitted to this journal in March. That means I'll be missing two sub windows. I'm ... floored, honestly.

it is darkly funny that his son got married and he was like "ohhhhh uhhhh something popped up, you know, the war, I gotta do work on the war that night, unfortunately I just can't go" and then 2 weeks later, same war still going on, he's shutting down midtown Manhattan to watch the Knicks

surprise your favorite bluesky indie writer: buy their book or request your local library carry them. show support & spread the word.

hey quick question, does anyone know what they’re doing

Wild to have masks at one’s disposal and not wear them at an airport or ON THE ACTUAL FLIGHT when you’re coughing up a storm for the entire 1.5-hour flight. 😵‍💫 😵‍💫 😵‍💫

What do you need right now? Maybe you need my odd new poem about Jane Goodall’s Hologram in @variantlit.bsky.social's new Summer Issue... variantlit.com/jane-goodall/

RIP Marjane Satrapi

The best part about traveling is how at odds one can become with the surrounding environment, especially when it comes to getting a full night sleep. It seems the cards are stacked against you at every moment 😖

Happy pub day to my book! It’s Easy to Lose Your Breath is now out in the world. You can still nab it anytime, whenever you can! I hope you enjoy traveling thru parts of my 2020 & 2021 again. (😂 😭) Of course, I’m out of town this week when it arrives, but I’ll be opening that package this weekend.

Congrats, Kevin!

This is such a great collection!

Happy publication day, Kevin!

Another poem to share with you all from my soon-to-be-out collection thru @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social! This time it's a prose poem published in @somewordslit.bsky.social. Huge props to @juscarts.com for starting this fun little online messageboard-y space. :-) somewords.boards.net/thread/16/ke...

every year I propose an AWP panel titled "How to Get Your AWP Panel Approved" and every year they don't approve it, what am I missing

Yesss -- this is the model!👇

Here's my occasional reminder that you should get a copy of my book for your summer reading stack! I assure you, there's some hope in it. There is. Maybe a sliver. :-)

I was planning on sending out this manuscript to a few more places before the deadlines today. But, in the end, I don't think this collection's ready, especially with some of the press's requirements. I think that's good for me, knowing when to wait on submitting.
