“…turning to art in times of struggle.” Oh, I really enjoyed @theburninghearth.bsky.social’s in-depth interview with @jaichakrabarti.bsky.social. Give it a read, friends!💙📚

Such a joy to be in conversation with @theburninghearth.bsky.social

"As writers, I think it’s those pauses that we want to lean into and excavate what lies beneath." @jaichakrabarti.bsky.social with @theburninghearth.bsky.social

I'm over the moon that Arthur Sze has been named our 25th U.S. Poet Laureate. Arthur was on the show for his new & collected The Glass Constellation and we looked back across his life as a poet in honor of it. ICYMI: 📻 tinhouse.com/podcast/arth... @coppercanyonpress.bsky.social

"This notion of turning to art in times of struggle has remained a cornerstone of my own artistic vision even when everything else argues against it."

Jai Chakrabarti is a brilliant writer and one of the nicest people you could ever meet.

My conversation with @jaichakrabarti.bsky.social is live at TBH. ❤️ Jai and his writing will change you! This notion of turning to art in times of struggle has remained a cornerstone of my own artistic vision even when everything else argues against it. -JC constancemalloy.com/2025/09/15/a...

Don't miss today's conversation with Rickey Laurentiis about Death of the First Idea, 10 years in the making, a book somehow archaic & futuristic, oracular & confessional, mythic & lyric, taking us from Ancient Greece to New Orleans to Palestine Audio📻: tinhouse.com/podcast/rick...

An excerpt: "No need to visit the now national historical landmark in New Jersey to pick up the oldest sound of all. Simply tune in to an empty channel on any radio or old analogue television – amidst the static, a residual trace from the birth of the universe..." #soundstories #deeplistening

Happy for the honourable mention for my Italo Calvino inspired short story titled "Tales from Coral Country"! 🪸🪸🪸

Thanks to @brandonshimoda.bsky.social for pointing to Nour on twitter who's foregrounding innumerable ways to help Gazas directly—with water, food, medical care, rent. DM her there at @TF7_AAWLA if you want to help out. Honored to share this water truck delivery with @lalehkhalili.bsky.social

This week's quotes feature adrienne maree brown and Robert MacFarlane on @davidnaimon.bsky.social's essential and enriching Between the Covers podcast, and Adrianne Lenker, calling on angels. All of these creators are angels to me. Enjoy the quotes! amandaearl.substack.com/p/qotw-2025-...

Is science fiction dead or dying? Some wise words from Ursula K Le Guin to the TLS a decade ago:

I have been vicariously rivered. What a book! What an interview! tinhouse.com/podcast/robe...

What does it mean to write under the aura of another poet one admires, to write in celebration of another? What happens to language when you do? Don't miss today's conversation with Laynie Browne Audio📻: tinhouse.com/podcast/layn... @omnidawn.bsky.social @tinhouse.bsky.social

Please listen. David Naimon talks to Omar El Akkad about his brilliant new book — One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, the role of language, and more. Maybe the urgency of the current moment will never be over. tinhouse.com/podcast/omar... @davidnaimon.bsky.social #STOPtheGENOCIDE

So much about this interview sounds wonderful! Evoking music in language sounds like something we should all strive to do.🎵

“…it is these stories that bind me to their better selves.” A poignant post by the wonderful @theburninghearth.bsky.social.❤️❤️❤️

Check out this incredible residency at Write On, Door Co in the beautiful Door Co. of Wisconsin. Two weeks, travel stipend, and food money. Amazing!!! I've had 2 residencies here and have another one coming up Aug. of 26. Only good things happen here! ❤️❤️❤️ writeondoorcounty.org/residency/

Loved this! "My goal that day was intimacy — the tactile, olfactory, visual, and sonic details of what, to most people in my culture, would appear to be a wasteland."

Everything Kimmerer says refreshes my spirit and gives me hope. There are people on this planet who know what to do. We need to listen to them. "Evolution would not produce such a messed-up system that breaks all the ecological laws. A species who tried that strategy would go extinct! Just saying."

"When I ran away as a 19 year old, I got into Minneapolis right after sundown. It was a very real moment for me. The sun leaving and saying you’re on your own now, kid." - Al Kratz @theburninghearth.bsky.social does a wonderful interview of @alkratz.bsky.social on his latest book, T is for Train.

So excited to see @willalex.bsky.social upcoming book Sunward on this list. I had to pre-order!

This is an amazing interview!

Love this from the last section of the interview on poetry. I've definitely seen this as the reaction to things here, on Bluesky.

“… I am reminded that I have inherited, incorporated, suffered, and freed myself from my parents’ legacy so that my daughter can know something different.” Connie ❤️ this In Memory of, this Goodbye, from @theburninghearth.bsky.social constancemalloy.com/2025/07/26/t...

"While I have survived inarguably difficult (and on occasion traumatic) times with my parents, it is these stories that bind me to their better selves." I love this piece of writing so much by @theburninghearth.bsky.social 💙💙💙

Unexpectedly, my mother passed away on 7/22. But more than just my mother passed away. ❤️ I've written a memorial to both of my parents and their marriage. I believe they are now in a place where they finally feel safe to open their hearts and let love in. constancemalloy.com/2025/07/26/t...

"....how can a piece of writing be like a painting? How can it be like dancing? How can it be like a muted trumpet solo?" Allen Kratz with @theburninghearth.bsky.social 👇👇👇👇👇 constancemalloy.com/2025/07/15/a...
