Clean Margins is now available for you to purchase on the Kelsay Books site and Amazon in both paperback and eBook editions. It's a nice short read featuring exploding frogs, missing brains, black holes, raccoons and some cancer (but nothing too dire).

Today I was informed of this fun fact: "If we gathered all of your site visitors together, they would fill the Jazzkeller Jazz club in Frankfurt, Germany 29%" Well, we all have to start somewhere. Anyway, if you want to improve that figure, give this site a click!

Mountaineering is something I really really enjoy watching other people do from the comfort and safety of my couch, under a blanket. Right now, I'm watching "Meru" on Netflix, and it all looks terrifying. Now here comes Jon Krakauer...

I really need to start flogging this book! I hope you'll consider supporting a local artist. Am I local to you? I don't know! But I'm definitely not Big Poetry. I would really like to have a higher ranking than #3653 in Women's Poetry! If you've read this book, please give it a glowing review!

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

Sometimes I really think I have undiagnosed ADHD, like how I'm dealing with trauma by screwing around with my LinkedIn, a new author website, and a FB author page at 1:40 in the morning.

I absolutely love this solidarity! I have been heartbroken over administrative changes at IU, particularly the dismantling of their foreign language programs.

On Aug. 2nd at 2 p.m., I will be joining several other local poets at the Oliva Gallery (3816 W. Armitage) to read 3 short poems on the theme of "Luminosity" to accompany their new exhibit. If you're in the Chicago area, come join me for an afternoon of poetry and art!

Getting a lot of the doomers here on the 4th of July. Just a reminder that on the original 4th of July, a king had already sent an army to occupy Boston, the signers of the Declaration had good reason to believe they would be hanged, and it would be another five years before Americans won the war.

Appreciation post for this little guy in our manuscript of Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica. He's been holding up this annotation in the margin for more than 500 years!! 💪 Not all heroes wear capes... some wear tunics. (Trinity College MS R.7.3)
