I have two poems in this issue from my on-again-off-again project to write poems about the folklore associated with native British trees. So grateful to Neil for editing this amazing publication!

Sorry I forget about this social media platform, folks. I have less energy these days. But I had to share this gorgeous poem, which is extra powerful if you have, or had (as I did), a sister. oneartpoetry.com/2026/06/19/i...

From “To the Ukulele Player on Central Avenue in St. Petersburg, Florida Who Asks Passersby, What Are You Grateful For?” by Susan Michele Coronel #SWWIMEveryDay #Poem #WomenPoets #Ciswomen #TransWomen #Nonbinary #Intersex #GenderExpansive #Inclusive #SusanMicheleCoronel #ThursdayPoem

I love this essay—and yes, there’s milkweed in Illinois, but not as much as when I was a child due to herbicides, alas.

A wonderful Zoom poetry reading today by @katierpoet.bsky.social, coming at us from Scotland with several remarkable, devastating poems from her new collection, Our Bodies Are Mostly Water (May 2025, Cornerstone Press.) An unforgettable tribute to her late sister & the love they shared.

New Substack up that acknowledges the awfulness but also acknowledges the beauty. #poem #poetry #onlineworkshop open.substack.com/pub/creative...

Amazing poem from Academy of American Poets today. So many lines to love! "I miss my magnolias, miss my maples, think Where did they go?, think, Oh yes, to the past, that place where everything goes and can I visit? No, but also Yes..." poets.org/poem/beautif... #poem #poetry #loss

"Those days you wait like a dog at the door" Three striking poems -- absolute heart punchers -- from @katierpoet.bsky.social | #poetry | www.doesithavepockets.com/poetry/kathe... Art @anchalastudio.bsky.social

I am so grateful to Does It Have Pockets for publishing 3 of my poems! The 1st is the title poem of my new manuscript, the 2nd expresses my longing for the farm where I grew up, and the 3rd is about the dog park. #poem #poetry #poems www.doesithavepockets.com/poetry/kathe...

I'm so grateful to have 2 new poems up at Bear Paw Arts Journal. The links go to each one, so I'll post them separately. There's such beautiful work in this issue, writing that affirms the dignity and beauty of everyday life. #poem #poetry www.bearpawartsjournal.com/poetry2/reig...

Happy winter solstice!

Awesome to wake up to my poem, "Everywhere We Once Knew Wildness" from my new book, The Grief Committee Minutes, on Verse Daily today! bit.ly/41SE0hl

This is from a poem by Andrew Lang called “Ballade of the Midnight Forest” and I now recognize that my true childhood ambition was to be a 19th century Scottish poet and folklorist (and also a wood nymph of course).

Read this brilliant poem! Dog parks are good places to think. www.versedaily.org/2024/howefar... ...This year is closing down. What I lost I will never regain... #poem #poetry #dogs

I'm recommending my friends' books! Today it's a wonderful poet who was part of a workshop of grad students I led years ago. Buy his book--and discover others at the wonderful Meadowlark Press! www.meadowlarkbookstore.com/s/stories/tu... #poetry

My gorgeous boy welcomes everyone who’s new here with sugar-face contentment. May you have your favorite ball and a hooman to cuddle.

You know a poetry book's great when you just open it at random and the poem is really good. random pick from @susanlleary.bsky.social Dressing The Bear.

New poem on Poets Reading the News! It’s about perspective. www.poetsreadingthenews.com/2024/11/i-bu... #poem #poetry

Photographer Kristie Kohn says "While I was trying to photograph the Northern Lights in the wee hours of the morning, my cat decided to photobomb the picture. Since I had the camera’s shutter speed maxed out, it ended up leaving a sort of ghostly image of my cat in the photo."

I have a new poem up in the Rise Up Review, on how we’ve lost those moments of peace, the in-between moments. I hope you’ll check out this wonderful magazine. riseupreview.org/katherine-ri... #poem #poetry

Such a gorgeous, wry, thoughtful poem! A new fave. #poem #poetry

This gorgeous #poem by Sheila Black. Read it. Quietly heartbreaking. lilypoetryreview.blog/poetry/lette...

Read my friend and former student's story, out in a visually exciting English-language spec fiction journal out of Bangladesh. Impressed the editors got the issue out in the midst of a coup. smallworldcity.com/Saturday-Nig... #speculativefiction #poemsasdrugs

Loving this book by Sarah Stockton—poetry about living with #mecfs.

I feel overwhelmed by the social media options so I forget to post here, but figured I’d share this pic of my sugar-faced boy about to catch his ball to keep my hand in this excellent platform. (He has big toofers but is the sweetest doggo.)

I would be glad if everyone who considers me a friend, IRL or pocket, to please read this and internalize what it means.
