“This room fills with air when I leave it, / like a heart with blood, or lives with time— / the matters of course ticked off / like seconds or groceries presently needed / and absently bought.” — @paulmguest.bsky.social, “Apogean” @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/1_1/guest1.h...

How you feel when you wake up before everyone and get 15 minutes to write 300 words of a story you haven’t been able to work on for weeks because of grading and teaching and everything else

There is a place untouched by sound that I visit often—a nation whittled down to a balcony of pigeons, each border a railing bending flag-like beneath rain. —Louie Leyson in last winter's issue of @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/24_4/leyson....

From your kitchen I watch the rain stain the city fully silver, the window a needle sewing every beak shut. We stand two worlds removed from the wind and the falling, the way the concrete darkens after contact like a bruise. —Louie Leyson in @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/24_4/leyson....

You can't towel off with a poem, or land a bee on its shiny surface or shine it through dingy pickle light. —Brian Builta in the new issue of @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/25_1/builta....

More hand-illustrated / typewritten "data visualizations!" (from Richard Merrill, ed., Radical Agriculture, 1976, via @eldiagram.bsky.social) thediagram.com/25_1/hypothe... (Glad I learned to count picas and do rubber-cement analog mock-ups back in h.s. year📘 www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-Xr... 😊)

CHAPBOOK CONTEST OPEN; $1K + PUBLICATION; DEADLINE 7/15 THIS YEAR: thediagram.com/contest.html

Once upon a time in umm, early March 2020, I wrote for an annual music tournament an essay about absurd fleeting joy in the face of grief and doom, without knowing how much more was coming and in how many forms. This month I was kindly asked to reconsider it for 2025.

We ain't doin shit this AWP except hanging out in the bookfair selling you books and hats and shirts.

“What Reddit does… is give ppl a space that they can create + collectively control, and where they can ask one another question after question after question, in every possible permutation… But the only 2 ?s that ppl ever really ask on Reddit, if you think abt it, are these: Am I alone? Am I okay?”
