Really pleased to have a new poem @pamenarpress.bsky.social. I wrote a longish post about it on Instagram, my personal relationship with the accordance/discordance of the French "frôle" with the English "fondle." As ever, talking to the work of Hélène Bessette: www.pamenarpress.com/post/carrie-...

I'll be back up in Utrecht again this weekend, reading at the launch party for my dear friend Andrej Kapor's new book. It's an event that I'm super excited to be part of, so if you're in the Netherlands let me know! And if not, have no fear. Andrej will be on tour soon ;).

Check out this great clip of @richardinlelot.bsky.social reading his poem "Surfing the night" from our documentary Richard Dailey: inciting revery (which is also on our YouTube channel) ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4vu...

Thank you so much to Ivy Writers Paris and Red Wheelbarrow for hosting us at last night’s French Poetry in Translation event. Here we are — Sandra, Amanda, and myself — post/during our braided reading of Cassandra at point-blank range (@lavink-dialogos.bsky.social).

Experimental poetry and music tends to be an acquired taste, similar to appreciating fine wine, coffee, or tea.

Our main focus is on supporting independent artists, poets, musicians, performers in Paris. Who's here on Bluesky that we don't know about? Who should we be following?

A poem I wrote at Hélène Bessette’s grave. I’ve published it via Substack, but here is the audio I made, something I like to do to work the poem out of the body in another way. (Of course, working it out of my body in my French is a very "another" exercise.) m.youtube.com/watch?v=fEL9...

Listen to @chapp010.bsky.social's powerful tribute to Hélène Bessette, written at Bessette's graveside: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEL9...

I'm excited to release this brand new video clip for my track "Feeling the air" from my recently released album, spatium. I hope you'll give it a watch and let me know what you think! 🎉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TmP...

This is my performance from the Antidote du Lot festival! I was in residence at the Magic Farm for two weeks, sitting on a bale of hay writing one of my Bespoke Books in public view. Then at the finissage event, I got up on the bale and read it aloud: (vostfr) www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkDF3aPA-A8

Wishing a very Happy Birthday to our eternal guide of the poetic spirit, Fork Burke. We celebrate you today! 🎉✨💖

We'd like to wish a very happy birthday to the one and only @stainedglasspoet.bsky.social , Alison Grace Koehler!

Poetry & hybrid writing from contemporary French women writers! Amanda Murphy & I will be presenting our co-translation of Cassandra at point-blank range by Sandra Moussempès alongside Laura Mullen who will be releasing her translation of something happens by Stéphanie Chaillou. 2pm CST & 21h CEST.

Of her homage to Liliane Giraudon, @stainedglasspoet.bsky.social writes, "These are the fragments I first envisioned painting onto glass. I eventually decided to reduce the amount of text inside the window itself, but the original selection has since coalesced into a found poem."

"Mon petit accent" is an essay about how the sentence "I grew up in Alabama," regardless of what I’m wearing or in what context I find myself, has changed almost every first conversation I’ve had with someone & many a conversation had with self. spiritualmaterial.substack.com/p/mon-petit-...

My "Portrait of Richard Dailey" which was recently included in Verse of April's Hymn for the Living Poet series, is up on their YouTube channel! Thanks again to @verseofapril.bsky.social and to @richardinlelot.bsky.social 🙏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=weuz...

Limited edition blue marble vinyls of spatium are available on my website at www.lesteria.com 🎉 First 25 copies come in a deluxe hand-painted box with an original painting, signed photo, and a bonus download ambient version of the album. 💃

I wrote the first "Motherhood Poem" last year, against the genre, against the preciousness of your regard. They are my "crunchy" motherhood poems as Lisa Pasold dubbed them. Thank you to Westerly Magazine for publishing this first batch. Order the issue (hard copy or PDF) at the link in comments.

My new album is now on bandcamp! And it's bandcamp Friday, which means all proceeds from today's sales go directly to the artist. So if you're thinking of grabbing the digital version of the album, today would be an awesome day to do that :) lesteria.bandcamp.com/album/spatium
