"Attention seems like a practice we have to cultivate.... The media we’re fed is geared toward shorter and shorter clips.... I’m much more a lay-a-brick-every-day type person." @ds-waldman.bsky.social talks to @bombmag.bsky.social about ATRIA: POEMS, in stores today! bombmagazine.org/articles/202...

@ds-waldman.bsky.social considers his own poetic voice alongside those of mentors and peers like Louise Glück and Garth Greenwell.

D.S. Waldman’s “At Lake Merritt” traces the body’s urgencies—anxiety blooming in the chest, thought as sensation, the quiet interruptions of a lakeside afternoon. Read in Issue Fifty-Six through the link in our bio.

"Today’s poem touched me because it acknowledges the patience and tenderness we need to have as spouses and as parents," @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social shares in episode 1432. Read "The Good Guy" by @blasfalconer.bsky.social — from RARA AVIS (@fourwaybooks.bsky.social): bit.ly/4buKSGe

Thanks to @thebaffler.com for publishing “Pt. Reyes,” a poem about love and microdosing with friends it’s drawn from ATRIA, out next month w/ @liveright.bsky.social @wwnorton.com

New Jan/Feb 2026 issue of POETRY Mag comes out digitally on Monday. I curated a folio of Frank X Walker’s poetry for the issue at his request. It has 14 of his poems, a gorgeous essay about X and the Affrilachian Poets, and an introductory essay by me. I hope you’ll read when it’s available.

A poem it feels made for me: West Marin, Oakland, persimmons, and the cliff edge! Beautiful, glad I got to read it this morning.

“I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe that disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

One of my visual poems from "Classic Crimes," done with embroidery. I didn't promote my book, which came out late May, because of some awful personal stuff that hopefully someday will end. ANYWAY, if you're so inclined & buy my book I will happily send you a collage postcard to thank you. You pick.

There's nothing we love more than to see independent bookstores thriving. Indie bookstores are essential community hubs and foster a love of reading that is unmatched, and we're proud to be part of the movement that keeps them in business. www.fastcompany.com/91461983/ind...

“Readers should expect to be delighted by a poet who touches subtly yet incisively on the friction between the different selves we become, moving between languages and nations.” Luis Torres reviews @brentameneyro.bsky.social’s A Face Out of Clay (@upcolorado.bsky.social). ➡️ buff.ly/nN3yWd5

Black Beans by Essex Hemphill

The talented writer Luis Torres wrote a beautiful review of my book for @therumpus.net - thank you to Luis and to the editors at The Rumpus

I absolutely loved Anney Bolgiano's "Flat-Pack," a chapbook that @eldiagram.bsky.social published a couple years back. Anney combines IKEA visual instructions with rearrangements of Marcus Aurelius. It's marvellous.
