Ok #teachers and #writers once we're through...what's the summer project? What's the #wip? I feel like I'm ready to get to the work work, craving it even.

Just keep grading Just keep grading Just keep grading grading grading

Hey it's put my life back together day!

Just rewrite every single word and then you're done

Ok, syllabus rebuilding season is just around the corner. #Poets and #teachers and #writers what are some #craft #books you love? Bonus points for syntax and half point deducted for "famous author routines".

I wrote about the pleasures of book clubs, particularly when invited to join book clubs reading my work. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Happy 8th anniversary to the tweet that changed us forever. Look at this absolute unit.

#5amwritersclub #6amwritersclub Do you have a practice or "partner habit" alongside your writing? mindfulness or exercise or a good walk or cooking for yourself or family? Today my #writing was reflecting on what that extension of that headspace and how I carry that awareness into the day.

#Community is an ingredient and if you don't see it around you, you have to be a part of building it. No #writer …no artist is an island. Make #art together and share it. Embrace an age of new sincerity.

Nope

15. But by the time i got here....less than two decades later, all that history had been wrapped up into a pretty bow and King had became a national Saint. The Black nonviolent hero everyone should aspire to. What a crock of shit. I leave you with Nina Simone. "The King of Love is Dead" end

Esquire couldn’t book this actor for an interview so fed previous responses through a couple of thief machines and ‘interviewed’ a digital photocopy. Including asking personal questions about his dad. People need to be sued and then fired for this.

Watch this space.

April Fools. I meant the second rockwall.

Colleges should be mandated to pay adjunct faculty a living wage before they build their third rockwall.

It's time to crack "Spring and All" for the annual vigil. #poetry #amreading

Calling all troubadours! An idea. Post your audio poems. Tag them #PoemsAloud so they're easy to find & share. That's the idea. 🥳 Why? #PoemsAloud syncs perfectly w/ #PoemsAbout or can stand on its own. Some poems live beyond the page. I recorded a bunch & don't know what else to do w/ them 🤷‍♀️

Dear Friends, AN ANNOUNCEMENT: My first poetry collection will be published in the Spring of 2027 by Broken Sleep Books. I am simply delighted - and immensely grateful to @godzillakent.bsky.social and everyone at @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social #poetrycommunity #poetsonbluesky #poetryislife

if you’re trying to “save time” as a writer by using AI, i suggest you find another profession. it takes time to write well, time to write exciting books. it takes time to write one good poem. i’ve spent years on a single poem. the time spent learning one’s craft is everything
