My sources tell me Satan has started using an AI algorithm to streamline the eternal damnation admittance process: "There are just too many of you."

Woof okay, finally off work and not trying to sneak "yays" in-between customers. So happy that this poem found a home at @paraselenemag.bsky.social (and that they included a recording — always a fan of that). It feels appropriate paraselenemagazine.com/2025/05/17/h...

In case you missed it: this new workshop will focus on the analysis of what makes poetry work stand out with “wow” factor and leads to publication and readership and hopefully we can employ some of these techniques to our own work. Come and join us! Starts June 7.

Officially terminated my contract with ELJ. Anyone interested in reprinting a book of poetry about climate change?
