PRESALE TIME!! The best time to order small press books is during presale, when there are author incentives and awards buzz begins. So order one, or order ten for all your friends. I mean look at that cover — who wouldn't want this on a coffee table. blacklawrencepress.com/books/the-sm...

I love poetry prompts and am so pleased with the ones LeAnne Hunt — @ennael.bsky.social — came up with after reading my work. Check these out and if you write through any of them, I hope you share!

Any review that helps you think about your own work in a new light is probably a pretty good review. <<>> Thanks to Kent for these words. If you like the poems I post on here, I hope follow the link and check out my book from @blackoceanbooks.bsky.social. <<>> www.blackocean.org/catalog1/its...

Happy new year everybody.

I've shared this with no less than ten people offline today. Three have responded with "I love you." Seems like a pretty good ratio.

This sentence has been caught in my teeth for days, chewy and true and hard to live up to— We're given so many chances to sell out [everything]. Good to remember it's not an imperative.

I got something very special in the mail today from my publisher ✨ You Must Live: New Poetry From Palestine edited by Tayseer Abu Odeh and Sherah Bloor, translators and editors. (Copper Canyon Press, 2025). 💜thank you for not looking away💜 @coppercanyonpress.bsky.social
