Cincy/NKY poetry fans: Come out to Urban Artifact on November 4th to hear our fabulous features, @rosalane145.bsky.social & Stephen Haven! They'll be visiting from Maine, so let's give them a warm welcome! As always, we'll have an open mic.

👀 Jackie K. White and Simone Muench's poem "teeth-grinder, lace-cutter," part of a collaborative project, "The Alchemy of Ghosts,” wherein they "engage with the voices of the women associated with both the artistic and literary Surrealist movement, who have often been historically marginalized"

ICYMI: a wonderful conversation between @jessejohnson.bsky.social & @tylermpoetry.bsky.social about their books, "Mettlework" and "Bomb Cloud" -- poet-memoirists, they spoke to the differences in genre, writing styles, and those brilliant moments of discovery. #poetry #memoir

“The question of who gets to live as long as they should isn’t moral but systemic. We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”

In my head is a circle farm. Selma Asotić

“When I got divorced, I remember the mixed feelings," says host @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social in episode 1374. "The future is unwritten, and we get to decide what the story will be. We get to choose what comes next." Read “The Terror of New Love!" by Tiana Clark: bit.ly/4n9JuuJ

A new poem of mine is live now at @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social in the ALIEN edition. It's a part of a manuscript of ars poeticas I'm working on. Thank you to everyone at LARB. This poem is for my friend Dante Di Stefano.

We are open for submissions for 3 more days ✨✨✨💗

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Can't wait for our next In Conversation with Iain Haley Pollock & @nathanhmcclain.bsky.social. Two creatives talking about craft, new work, and courage. Online - Free - Register to receive event info!

Poetry Night at Sitwell's has a new name & new venue: POETRY AT ARTIFACT! Join us at Urban Artifact on Oct. 7th in the Northside neighborhood of Cincy for featured poets & Michael C. Peterson! Don't forget a poem to share in the open mic!

In a backwards way I'm grateful for the emptiness of Lehman's vision - so much of the current poetry I love is a reaction against it and I find its politics more urgent & direct & personal & complex than mid-century & earlier American political poetry. _Bettering American Poetry_ was awesome.

If you miss any of our In Conversations, we have them on our YouTube channel... Most recent event with @taylorbyas.bsky.social & @jasonbcrawford.bsky.social up now! youtu.be/MYV3LJ2Vj8Q

Like so many in the poetry community, we were devastated to learn of Jenn Martelli's passing. Not only was Jenn a guest, she was a literary citizen we deeply respected and learned from, watching her cheer on and champion others as she wrote luminous, incisive, insightful poems that left us in awe.

More literary journals regularly soliciting & editing book reviews: @soflopojo.bsky.social, @therumpus.net, @ecotheo.bsky.social, @rhinopoetry.bsky.social, rain taxi, and many other wonderful journals. If you haven’t before, I urge you to write a book review this year; such a gracious labor.

I'll be in #Gainesville and #Atlanta next week reading from my late wife and favorite human ever @saaramyrene.bsky.social's Juniper Prize-winning #poetry book "Chamber After Chamber" from @umasspress.bsky.social. Come say hi at @thelynxbooks.bsky.social or Tall Tales Book Shop

I'm heartbroken that poet Jennifer Martelli has died. Her poem "Teeth" appeared in Issue 21 of @tahomareview.bsky.social - one of my first issues as editor. I fell in love with her poems and was lucky to become her friend. She was funny, brilliant, deeply generous, & kind. She will be very missed 🐈‍⬛💔

What an incredible line-up (and MFA program)!!!! Solstice is taking applications from poets, fiction writers (for young people or adults), creative nonfiction writers, and comics/graphic novel creators through 11/10 (for a winter/spring start).

I'm thrilled to have found this wonderful home for my heroic crown! Thank you, @milkandcakepress.bsky.social!

One month ! 10/10 at 7pm @coupletseries.bsky.social

Join us on August 3rd to learn how to practice identifying what’s working in a piece, what questions it’s asking, and what possibilities revision can open up. Through interactive lecture and guided prompts, we’ll explore how to cultivate a more generous, self-aware approach to the revision process.

We are so excited for this class! Please share with anyone who might be interested in diptychs, prose poetry, lyric memoir... Cynthia is a remarkable poet and generous teacher and these two hours are going to be the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon!
