Some news! UNCLE TIME, my new chapbook of prose poems, is out this fall with @gasherpress.bsky.social pre-order: www.gasherpress.com/product-page...

BREAKING: The PA Supreme Court holds that mandatory life without parole sentences for all "felony murder" convictions -- a sentence more than 1,000 people in PA are serving -- violates the state constitution's "cruel" punishment ban. This is GROUNDBREAKING: www.pacourts.us/assets/opini...

So delighted to have the closing poem from DEAR DEAR in this brilliant journal alongside friends with stunning web design. Except below after Bach's MUSICAL OFFERING and Oliveros's concept of deep listening

I’ve got a couple new poems in this stellar first issue. Huge thanks to @lowghost.bsky.social and @williamhazard.co for including me. :—)

Issue 01 is live!! An absolutely stacked lineup with astounding poetry, fiction, and hybrid expanded field poetics. I'm still in awe. Give this a read! www.ghostharmonics.com/magazine/issue-01 Cover featuring artwork by S.H. Yan Featuring Paige Taggart, @danikastegeman.bsky.social ...

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

"We seem to be entering an age of state control armed only with the delusional hope that if universities hide and say nothing about all of the obvious ways in which the nation is slouching toward the demise of democracy, they will avoid political retribution."

"I absolve the sky. It is subject to forces unseen. Then I absolve my boss." Incredibly stoked we get to feature two new @rorty.bsky.social surrealist bangers this week! Dreamworld imagery, playful language and a wonderfully bizarre sense of humor abound in these two beauties! Go peep! 🧶😶‍🌫️

Haven't really tried in a while, but what weirdo press might want to publish my book-length erasure poem of the novelization of Ang Lee's HULK? I don't know where to send it, but I don't want to give up on it.

So proud of my partner, @rorty.bsky.social, who has an op-ed out today in the @chicagotribune.com. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/04/29/o...

…found a signed Merwin??

finally forming my cover band, Linkedin Park serious inquiries only pls, cover letter required

The next Neon Night Mic is in two weeks! So excited for this stacked lineup 🎤 @danikastegeman.bsky.social 🎤 @parkeryoung.bsky.social 🎤 @simonemuenchie.bsky.social 🎤 Scott Daughtridge DeMer 🎤 Hedgie Choi (@uwiscpress.bsky.social) 🎤 Donato Loia (@bside-editions.bsky.social)

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.

I think the takeaway is that a lot of Democrats are looking for a fighter, and others in the party should take note.

New poem from a new project in the new @capgrasmag.bsky.social :—)

VOLUME ONE NOW LIVE!! Capgras hosts and will continue to host “undiagnosable” writing. Every poem in this inaugural issue is bizarre and beautiful. Take a fleeting or lingering look, link in bio 🪞🪞🪞

Jewish Voice for Peace has a really useful tool/script that makes it simple to call your reps about Mahmoud Khalil's chilling arrest www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/cal...

New fire from Anthony DiCarlo on @havehashad.com ❤️‍🔥🔔🐚 www.havehashad.com/hadposts/2-p...

BTW, Dems have been making trans people scapegoats for ages now. My colleague and I wrote about it right after Trump got elected: prospect.org/politics/202...

Dems are making their strategy choices and Newsom has evidently decided that throwing trans people under the bus is the way to go. But there's another way! Look at Pritzker in IL and his unabashedly pro-LGBTQ agenda and rhetoric. Newsom should take notes (and so should voters).

I have a poem in the new issue of New Delta Review! It's about a seal & it's inspired by the writing of Rebecca Wadlinger

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.” If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Learning (slowly, humbly) to use a camera this year.

I have a few new poems in Matt Hart’s SOLID STATE (a free journal, email solidstateliterary at gmail dot com for an issue). Here’s one from an ongoing sequence:
