“Today’s poem speaks to how we track our days and how easy it is to get lost in the day’s rigamarole,” shares Ada Limón in today’s encore episode. Read “Bruised Peaches” by @bronwentate.bsky.social: bit.ly/43jMJIq

We loved hearing you read all of With My Back to the World from start to finish! The lines, like Agnes Martin's, are clear and packed with intensity-it was wonderful to see the images while relaxing into your sustained read. @bronwentate.bsky.social and I were happy to host you!

Just arrived in Toronto! My nugatory offering to a fav poem by Catullus. 😁 Thanks to Joanne & Derek at The Waxed Lemon for including this one! #CatullusPoems #Reception #Carmina

I am once again soliciting creative writing teachers (across levels, genres, and contexts) open to a possible informational interview with UBC MFA students in my pedagogy class this term. You can add yourself to my resource sheet using this brief Google form: forms.gle/x7LtKCTcFDFX... Thanks!

Sending strength and appreciation to all teachers pushing through this final stretch of the term. Also, any teacher who's been frustrated by corporatized inservice needs to read this piece by @jessicacuello.bsky.social

Now that this place is hopping, it might be a good time to remind #poets that our MFA application deadline is approaching here at UW-Madison! #mfa #creativewriting

The first item on my 9-year-old's holiday wishlist is . . . cucamelons. A type of small cucumber that looks like a watermelon. She's the best.

My 11-yo: "Can I have a carrot—even if I don't share it? Oh! oh! How about this one? Can I have a shallot—it just might cleanse my palate?"

It's PUB DAY! We are delighted to be the US publisher for these two completely BRILLIANT and totally ORIGINAL books. Both novels. Both long (for us). Both from award-winning writers (one in The Netherlands, the other in New Zealand) who happen to be lovely people. Please help us spread the word!
