Frost flowers on the creek yesterday. These only form when it is very cold, and very still, and it has been both. It feels like magic. ❄️

Many, many thanks to @narrativemag.bsky.social for making a home for "Some Half-World." This poem means a lot to me. ❤️ (Link in comments.)

Let's endure winter together, by making our own little web of work. ❄️ Check out The Winter Writer: Six Weeks of Writing in Community. ✨ Tuesday evenings, online, starting February 11. ✨

All bundled up. Time to test the lake ice. ❄️

The 10yo & I made peppermint marshmallows!

Reposting b/c AWP has a legit means of transferring registrations. You should go to LA! Let's talk!

Many thanks to @cincinnatireview.bsky.social & @lisaampleman.bsky.social for giving a home to two new poems, including the first in a short series of prose poems considering shame & girlhood.

Anyone need a discounted AWP registration? Hit me up. It looks like I'll be flying in the opposite direction instead. 🍀

What are your favorite winter poems? ❄️ Here's one of mine.

Are you a poet 40 and over who has published no more than one full-length collection of poetry?? Send ten pages of poems for me to read for this year's @poetrysociety.org Robert Winner Memorial Award!

Two sides of the same lake. ☀️❄️

Here's my new favorite joke: knock knock who's there? hike hike who? Unsuspecting friend. I await with bated breath. Sets the perfect trap.

Really happy to have a recent poem in the fall issue of Pleiades, which is packed with great work. Many thanks to @jennymolberg.bsky.social & @caitlincowan.bsky.social.

Back on it.

Booked AWP! Who else is going to be there? 🌴

Listen, a cold walk is a tonic. ❄️

Sixteen years ago tonight I kissed my husband for the first time. We were first-year law students & the party was wild & I thought I was defending his honor but I had the story wrong.

Remember when the night before Thanksgiving was the most raucous night of the year?

Aproned in the kitchen listening to 1970s jams, prepping syrups & scones & cornbread & stuffing, & wishing my grandma, who was hilarious & complicated & taught me to cook, was here, too. 💚

Just trust me; it’s worth it.

Looking for a writing ritual to push through the darkest days? ✨ Join us during the week of winter solstice (Dec 16-20) for an online, early-morning writing circle & write five new poems, fast. ✨ We'd love to have you! Link for info & registration in comments.

Thrilled to have a new poem in the (stellar) fall issue of Copper Nickel. Many thanks to the editors!

After a long time away, peeking back through the blinds into social media & so glad to see so many poets here. 💚

Me, to every email I send, "Go with God."

A forever favorite by Keetje Kuipers.

Love is on the other side of the lake. -Linda Gregg

Someone on the internet had hard-boiled eggs with feta & dill & as I’m quite suggestible, I did, too. And now I wish I could feed you all this immediately.

8yo: “Dad! Truth or dare?” Husband: “Truth!” 8yo: “Who would you have married if it wasn’t Mama who you already know?” 🙌🙌🙌

Twin Cities! I'd love to see you tomorrow eve!

Really looking forward to reading this Friday at 7:00pm at Eat My Words (in Northeast Minneapolis) with Joshua Gottlieb-Miller & Haley Lasché! We'd love to see you! It's gonna drop to freezing Friday night. Let's warm up with some fresh poems!

The first time I read this poem was aloud, in an MFA workshop, & I was in tears by the end. The pleading, the longing, the anger. It wrecks me.

So many times reading Glück‘s poems, I felt I’d been struck by lightning. 💔

I think I love it here!
