You wouldn’t marry someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t be friends with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t do business with someone who lied to you like this. You wouldn’t work for someone who lied to u like this. You’d want nothing to do with someone who lied to u like this.

See you Wednesday!

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

Slow. Clap. 👏

Omaha friends: I'm reading w/Ted Wheeler, Todd Robinson, and @chotchandani.bsky.social, & DYING TO SEE ALL OF YOU, FINALLY. PS. WHY DOESN'T NE HAVE A FREAKING OMAHA-TO-LINCOLN SHUTTLE? 1 hour away feels like eternity. Move to Lincoln already, would you? #nebraskapoetry #omahaart #omahaartists

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

hm. i have a short(ish) and rather odd project-based poetry manuscript (prose poems, mostly), seeking a home; suggestions?

A few moments from my recent Belletrist feature, along with something I have not shared here yet: the publication date for PULSE due from @omnidawn.bsky.social. Featuring a few recent favorites, including The Ugly Cry, Homeschooled, A Novel Idea, and more. 🤍 #PULSE #Belletrist #Poetry #Books

“I ask myself: Am I exposing information given to me in confidence? Am I writing to hurt, or to understand?” In this week’s #CraftCapsule, author @marianazos.bsky.social offers insight on how to approach writing sensitively about one’s most intimate relationships. at.pw.org/NazosCC3

In my new Craft Capsule for @pw.org, I write about heat, tenderness, abuse, and how to put people in their place. Featuring Danez Smith’s “dear white america,” my poem “Asshole,” & the question I keep returning to: Am I writing to hurt, or understand? Read here: www.pw.org/content/how_...

At Muse’s Mic, I talked about reading poems autobiographically and why I do not think readers should be afraid (always) to do so. It also touches on ideas about ethical lying from my @pw.org essay. Watch the full interview here: www.facebook.com/reel/2365419... #Poetry

Our Spring 2026 issue is going live from a different coast! Today I’m in Rockland, Maine, at the birth home of Edna St. Vincent Millay, one of my favorite poets, for a few days of writing retreat with Carly DeMento (another one of my favorite poets!). www.whaleroadreview.com/issue-42-spr...

I’ve always had too much anger for the polite $poem. An editor once told me my work was “brash.” It hurt. It was also true. Ever since, I've been obsessed with poets who execute rage beautifully. My new @pw.org essay explores anger — and what it can become. Read: www.pw.org/content/ethi....

Second capsule essay in this short series out Monday. This one reflects back on themes from the first craft capsule — poetic ethics, factual adjustment, and the afterlife of craft decisions in Cape Cod Pantoum. Still thinking about where invention deepens truth and where it complicates it.

A throwback I’m grateful for — Kaveh Akbar selected my #poem “The Hollywood Glacier” for the 2021 Palette Poetry Love & Eros Prize. “Granular to cosmic… the poem feels subtly but densely peopled. It’s its own ecosystem.” I’ll share a short reading of this poem later this week. #poetry

Second capsule essay in this short @pw.org series out Monday. Reflecting back on themes from the first craft one - #poetry ethics, factual adjustment, and the afterlife of craft decisions in Cape Cod Pantoum. Adding screenshots here since the link was slightly elusive for some folks last time.

I wrote a new craft essay for @pw.org that grew out of a poem rooted in a real accident and the difficult afterlife of memory. Thinking about what responsibility poets carry when reshaping what actually happened. www.pw.org/content/lie_... #poetry

Essay out today via @pw.org on ethical lying in poetry — and the tension between narrative usefulness and factual accountability when writing from lived experience.

Still riding the post-#AWP wave. There are so many good people and poems out there. Gives me hope for this world.

BIG post-AWP news: PULSE has a new font…AND an official release date. Stay tuned. @omnidawn.bsky.social, I'm looking forward. 🫀

At the @northamerreview.bsky.social booth. Few other journals forge such supportive bonds with their writers. Check out their latest issues, and grab a bookmark with PULSE’S pre-order QR code. We had a great #awp alongside @rhinopoetry.bsky.social + @hypertextmagazine.bsky.social ,

You're FIRED. 🔥
