OK, not even getting into the ethics or the existential issues around AI: Have some goddamn self-respect. If you're a writer and you do this I don't know how you look at yourself, but I know exactly how I look at you.

Very cool: the Talbot Spy (of Talbot County, Md.) has reprinted my prose poem "Logjam," originally published in Four Way Review: talbotspy.org/spy-poetry-l...

Hey, so, for various reasons I haven't been able to do a slew of readings for my new book like one is supposed to do, which means I have a handful here still. Let me know if you want a signed copy dropped in the mail sometime this week! DM for details, Venmo, CashApp, whatever.

Mmmm, second rejection from a journal that also rejected this same packet in July. Message received, ha ha. (No, I didn’t resubmit it. They just re-rejected it.)

I found The Da Vinci Code so deathly dull that I can’t ever face reading another Dan Brown, but I do so enjoy his banal and nonsensical prose. This review packages that up perfectly while saving me the agony of wading through the treacle. I’ll be going back to that sublime elevator line all day

Hey, this is in less than an hour if you're interested! Excited to read with Sarah Sarai, for real.

I'm reading poems online tomorrow night (Monday 9/8)! I'll be reading some from the last book -- and some from the forthcoming (Mouth, out in January from Cornerstone Press). www.facebook.com/events/10939...

Having recently read the collection, really enjoyed listening to this on the drive to and from school this week. Among other things, carrying some new thoughts on sonnet form into the classroom. Thanks, Joe and @hanvanderhart.bsky.social!

Attention is a form of feeling, can be a form of great feeling. Large as the wheel-less mill track by the river. As the fields of discarded tires filling with rain. —Han VanderHart // new poem in Salt Hill Journal!

I love in depth answers to questions by people who deeply know the answer, anyway Courtney answered "why are so many historical romances set during the Regency??"

Concerned that we are losing the necessary ratio. 15% of teachers/faculty should be irretrievably strange eccentrics. Every learning experience should have some element where in later life you can reflect with former classmates about how bizarre at least one (1) class per year was.

palfest This week's book of the week is WE HAD MANSIONS, a luminous and unflinching debut by queer Palestinian Appalachian poet and journalist Mandy Shunnarah, published last month by @diodeeditions.bsky.social. Get your copy of WE HAD MANSIONS from the good folks at Diode Editions.

We are planning on being at Punch Bucket Lit this year, y’all, and will be bringing some of these sweet posters with us, in case you’d like one 🌊 🌊📚💙

Woke up super excited to share our press's news with y'all.

Something very very weird happened during the Hugos award ceremony... It's been on my mind for days, and so I wrote this blog: "When People Giggle at Your Name, or the 2025 Hugo Awards Incident" grigorylukin.com/2025/08/21/w... #Worldcon

Shhh, don't tell @hanvanderhart.bsky.social I'm leaking this but @riverriverbooks.bsky.social has a big announcement coming tomorrow.

Checked the Worldcon site and there's an apology and retraction, and a new theme for the convention. www.lacon.org/2025/08/21/s...

Shoutout to #AWP26 for, in lieu of sending straightforward decline emails, allowing me to recreate the formative 10th-grade experience of standing outside the coach’s office scanning a sheet of paper for my name to see whether I’d made the varsity baseball team. (I hadn’t.)

Any rain big enough, anywhere, could sweep a house away. I need to reacquaint myself with the Earth I actually inhabit. —Jacqui Zeng, with our #SummerRiot poem today! ☔️🔥 @jacquiz.bsky.social

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!!!!! THE LAST SOUL ALMONG WOLVES is out!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I'm getting ready to jump on a plane for most of the day so it's a weird release day for me but AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH IT'S LOOSE IN THE WORLD AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉

This is in the replies and it demonstrates a real issue which is if you find profundity from an AI, you’re responding to something profound a human being wrote that was vacuumed up and what ends up happening is you thank AI and not only don’t thank the person, you have no idea they were involved

So @amorak.bsky.social shared this with me last week, and it makes me so happy to see projects with different reaches and purposes serving the same community 💜💜💜🙏🥹
