the day-blind stars

Morning read: @hanvanderhart.bsky.social ‘s “Dixie Land Delight” “I've looked in the glassy eyes of dead/ things. I've washed feathers and blood/ from my hands. I've laid down on/ a quilt, on an August day, watched/ the threads slip from their seams.” Whew! Awesome!

“This book made me ugly cry. At once intimate and frank, beautiful and brilliant, AN UNSTABLE CONTAINER is unafraid of big feelings and unanswerable questions ... What I mean is, AN UNSTABLE CONTAINER is a knockout and LaPine is a gift to us all.”—Marisa Crane bullcitypress.com/product/an-u...

All my NC friends- here’s an awesome opportunity for emerging poets in and around Charlotte, NC!

Hi, Bluesky! I'm Alexander Gast. Interests: cats on Instagram / cats off Instagram / words that lift off the page like UFOs, braille / looking at stars and, in company, saying: "y'all, these stars!" / sifting bowls of syllables / line breaks, if the line brakes / air, cloud, sky. Let's be friends!

I heard all the poets were here now, hello! Bit about me: KY born and raised, BA in English & Geography from UNC Chapel Hill (thank you @rosswhite.com) Currently living and writing poetry in Nashville, TN! Poems out now in @chestnutreview.bsky.social, Variant Lit & forthcoming in Poetry Magazine!
