We could’ve had Tim 😭

my book came out when the lockdowns started. I barely promoted it. Then when the protests began I continued to stay silent. I felt small and insignificant and unworthy. I’ve since heard several people say they needed my poems. Please. Don’t keep your art from those who need it. Especially not now.

🐦‍⬛ Surviving another day with this stunner from Danusha Lameris’s BLADE BY BLADE. I loved that this book had the darkest hours and the most gorgeous hopes.

Husband has been baking bread this week, so bringing back this love poem for him that first appeared in last fall’s RHINO.

I’m going to keep it real and hope I don’t get accused of overstating the issue; children’s liberation is the key to the future you want. The active, and often dismissed, oppression of children is near the root of what ails us as a nation.

In the classroom for the first time since the election. “Dead Stars” by Ada Limón seemed like a good way to start today’s discussion of The Carrying. I’m grateful for this poem, for so many poems.

Since the poets are here now, here’s a poem of mine that just came out, that’s kind of dear to my heart. ❤️

So much stretchy, squishy love.

Pretty obsessed with these sleepy cuddle monsters we adopted in September, Wally and Iris. They help us remember we all need more love and more naps.

New poems up today at Quarterly West, one on the etymology of pinking shears, and the other on my son’s red sweater and trying to parenting right.

Ah, nothing like daughter getting accused of plagiarism because her paper is too good. Let's not do this, teachers. Be really, really sure, or leave it alone.

Today’s morning walk across the lake with the kids. Saw new water birds, mosaics, and ice fisherman.

Exhausted after dealing with admins in our school district. For all the expectations and professional development they demand of our beloved classroom teachers, they definitely seem to hold themselves to a much lower standard.
