The form rejection and I walk, hand-in-hand, into the sunset.

“unattended baggage”

Mikey was not pleased with our departure this morning..

For 2026 i challenge you all to record yourself reading a poem. you don’t have to post it, but give it a try. give yourself four takes, see where you end up, see how it feels.

Sharing the opening poem, “Pseudo Myth” from MORE FLOWERS, out with @triohousepress.org on February 1st, 2026! 🌺 #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

Looking forward to this one (& a seasonal re-reading of “Specters of Marx”) (complementary dog haunch)
