Good morning! A new How a Poem Moves essay has been posted. It's about a poem by Dobby Gibson that pulls back the curtain on poetic craft. Sort of. howapoemmoves.wordpress.com/2025/05/08/d...

Very excited to read poems — some old, some new — at the venerable Shab-e She'r reading series on Wednesday night at the Tranzac. Hope to see you there! www.facebook.com/events/18474...

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Shabbat shalom, good people.

I’m officially on sabbatical and will only be replying with snark and silly memes until July.

Finally read Mary Ruefle’s book of essays. You were right, people. They’re tasty.

Pissed for Jimmy Carter. Now he’s gotta fight through another four years.

Ok I’m here, now what do I do?
