The wild turkeys are enraged by all of us.

Snow…🥶

I learned that former Boston Poet Laureate Danielle Legros Georges has passed after a long struggle with cancer. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with her and performing with her many times over the years. This is a tremendous loss for the poetry community.

It was such an honor to serve as a judge for Mass Poetry’s Write Here/Write Now/ Speak Loud! Teen Spoken Word held in Worcester’s White Room and hosted by the great Bruja the Villain!

I loved DoubleTake Magazine. I miss it.

Ok. This was good.

School pick up line with pals.

100% in my “Needing Readers” phase of life. Avoided glasses for 52 years of my life, but alas.

Lasting holiday memories…

3 boys in the house and every dresser drawer is pulled out and every cabinet door is left open.

AM yogurt with Marly.

Milo likes the snow.

Bought a cello for my kid for Christmas. He’s obsessed with composing these days and he loves classical music. I know nothing about cellos or this world, but I do know it makes him happy. Now I gotta find lessons for him in Central MA.

It is NOW acceptable to put up Christmas decorations.

Watching the parade with these two.

Brine prep.

Rereading. It’s so good.

Thanksgiving, basically.

So thrilled that @lenakt.bsky.social won the National Book Award for poetry! Congratulations dear friend!

I’m the colleague who brews the coffer in the morning. Just so you know. And if you don’t like it that strong, get here earlier.

There is nothing…NOTHING quite like trying to grade your first batch of papers after a yearlong sabbatical.

Hey friends! Worcester is looking for the next Youth Poet Laureate! Details are here: www.worcesterma.gov/cultural-dev...

Floof attack.

My children, on their own, started watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Friends, I shed a little happy tear.
