wondering if there are any literary agents here that might be down to Zoom into a class? or if anyone knows an agent who might be a good match, let me know?

Hi poetry reviewers, writers, readers: here’s a document I made of paying reviews markets. Holler at me if you see something that needs to be updated/deleted/added! 🙏 I would appreciate it. Would love this to be a community resource for freelance writers to be paid for their criticism.

Thinking back to your MFA days, what are some things you wish you'd been taught regarding professionalization. I have a decent list going, but I'd to hear others. Thanks, friends!

With four days to spare until the contract at work starts up, I finished a manuscript today.

"Your sister has no thesis" really stuck with me. If I was teaching comp, this would be a good stock comment that 1% of my students would get.

Jury duty summons for Spring Break. Cool.

As of yesterday, I've run 281 miles this year--had an amazing 8 miler yesterday. Woke up this morning and my now my left knee will barely bend. Right one is fine. I guess this is just late 40s living?

Love this generous description of Larry Levis' "system": "Extant documentation of the state in which Levis's materials were initially found following his death indicates that Levis likely maintain only a very rudimentary organizational system."

overheard my son this morning talking to his sister: "even though it's not still Valentine's Day, we can still be nice to each other."

widespread chaos always means profit for the rich. especially when the rich create the chaos.

safe to say those of us expecting tax refunds this year should just go ahead and stop expecting?

biggest weekend plan is taking a long nap tomorrow.

Best audiobook platform/subscriptions? Would like to avoid Audible. I have Hoopla, but I'd like a little more diversity in books I can check out.

If you're at a Southern university/institution that is closing your LGBTQ or DEI/DEIA offices please reach out to us. We are helping people preserve their department's archival history and will work with you to help ensure folks remain anonymous.

Love NEA announcement day. Congrats to the poets and translators!

Visited three old friends a few weeks back (all in the same cemetery) and it has me thinking about where I’d like my remains to end up one day. What’s your plan?

Still looking for your poems! Yes, you.

Before bed last night my partner asked me if I knew of any "good poems about water," and I turned to her as if I had been waiting for that moment my whole life.

Happy Birthday CD Wright.

Love telling my students now about the olden days when we’d board a plane between Christmas and New Year’s Day to be interviewed in a hotel room in an expensive city somewhere for the slim chance of landing an academic job.

Listening to the new Kendrick my son asks what “reincarnated” means. I tell him and he says he’s always been a Benji in all of his lives before. I believe him.

Thank you to the editors of WAXWING for giving three new poems of mine a home--here's one of them. Grateful to be among so many amazing writers. Here's the full issue: waxwingmag.org
