Used to think “Maybe I’ll finish my first poetry collection soon!” Then started thinking, “Maybe I’ll finish a poem someday?”

if you’re trying to “save time” as a writer by using AI, i suggest you find another profession. it takes time to write well, time to write exciting books. it takes time to write one good poem. i’ve spent years on a single poem. the time spent learning one’s craft is everything

Looking forward to this! Earthly Love: A Conversation with Ross Gay and @nezhukumatathil.bsky.social on February 12, 12-1pm. Register here: yff.yale.edu/events/earth... with the Forest School at the Yale School of the Environment, @religion-ecology.bsky.social & @orionmagazine.bsky.social 💚

Did you know you needed a climate change poem today? You need one every day, a prayer and foghorn. Read @lindszd.bsky.social's beautiful work: "Love is a simple object navigating | blurry physics, an ark baring its hull | to flood, remaining afloat." From www.ronslate.com/given-after-...

We're here to give you a little present while these dogs take off back to our dog houses for the holidays! @lindszd.bsky.social gave us such a great gift and we're happy to share it with you! dogyard would love if you gave us a gift as well... Maybe a fiction piece or two? #poetry #writingcommunity

Today is pub day for Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine! However much writing can be a solitary act, putting a book out definitely isn’t. Thanks to Stillhouse Press and all of Tell Me Yours’ many champions. My first book is out now. I hope you like it.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

✨Dream pub since 2004✨In high school I used to spend hours in Borders (RIP) reading issues of Ploughshares, trying to understand how one might accomplish the caliber of poetry on display in each issue. It’s still my favorite pub, so I am beyond honored to have a poem in the Spring 2025 issue!

So excited to read the whole thing!

Tim Seibles is one of my favorite poets working today. Loving this poem in The Offing (which is killing it lately with the work it has been featuring…probably just a regular thing, really).

Ah, yes…the customary post-AWP wave of rejections.

I just received the 2025 spring issue of @northamerreview.bsky.social and I am loving the large format layout! I have two poems in here that were selected as James Hearst Poetry Prize finalists. Here is a little bit about their (opposite) histories.

As a poet who is pushed to view AI as essential to my capitalist career, I feel urgently close to Iyer’s line of questioning in this wonderful/horrifying piece up now at The Offing.

In awe of this poem by @emmabolden.bsky.social in the Spring 2025 issue of Potomac Review.

I’m always disappointed when I walk into a used bookstore and browse the poetry section only to find it stocked with mostly white men. These are poets I read and respect…but where are the women? Teach. More. Female. Poets. And remember there is more to the story than Sylvia Plath and Mary Oliver.
