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!

I totally forgot it's napomo - the chaos means time is unreal. However, it's never too late to hop into this form calendar to generate some new work. Thanks @taylorbyas.bsky.social and @sfeycreates.bsky.social for this challenge!

I skipped this the first time it came up on TikTok because I thought it was just another entry in the tired Oxford comma debate, but a friend insisted I watch it. It is genius! If I ever teach a modern grammar class again, this will be part of the curriculum, maybe even inspiration for an assignment

The form calendar for National Poetry Month is hereeee, courtesy of myself and @sfeycreates.bsky.social! Follow along with us next month to get some poems written, to have some fun, and to be in community together!

So excited for this In Conversation event!
