NEW BOOK PREORDERS my new collection Laterals is now open for preorders I like to describe these poems as “sports adjacent” — there is sports in every poem but they’re about understanding the self through sports 406press.com/product/late...

Getting some mixed messages from the university’s emergency alert system this week.

Today my kid came home from a week at her grandparents’ and ran across the yard and jumped and gave me the biggest hug and it was the best thing ever

Cape Verde keeper is in his 40s, so there's a chance he's on bluesky

Drinking a Budweiser in my garage and watching Switzerland-Algeria, might possibly be living my best life, not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing

Really stoked to see that the Dodo Eraser reading I took part in is now uploaded to Youtube, along with 7 more readings from the series! Was thrilled to read alongside such great writers here!!! If interested, my pieces start at 1:17:00, and I was clearly not paying attention to how I was framed

Fever Clowns, a collection of stories where the painted faces are just as scared of you as you are of them. Out 9/15/26 through Anxiety Press.

Your kid waking you up early to cuddle is lowkey one of the best feelings in the world

Flight 5 lands today! We have work from @djvorreyer.bsky.social @willmusgrove.bsky.social @selizabeth.bsky.social and @mattjakubowski.bsky.social flight-literary.ghost.io/flight-5/

Just read a PDF of this and was really wowed by it! Can’t wait to try to urge you all to preorder it and read it and love it too!

Wrote this in Aaron’s Jackass workshop a few years ago that I might think about way too often because of how fun it was

So stoked for this!

the solstice is almost upon us! You know what that means! a new @identitytheory.bsky.social micro issue is coming!!!

Taking my kid on a Disney cruise next week to get to the bottom of this

Tonight! Pittsburgh friends, hope to see you at Stay Gold Books where me and @aaronburch.bsky.social will be reading from our new books and talking indie publishing and lots of other stuff with Jake Maynard. Let's get weird!

Let’s write, let’s read, let’s go

Recently read Rachel's chapbook 'How to Feel' from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social and loved every bit of it. Finished it and reread it right away, then sat down with my partner to share and discuss some of our faves.

At @barrelhouse.bsky.social we are having a huge sale-- for a limited time, almost everything in our shop is $5 (excludes our 2 latest books & new print issue). That means only $60 could get you our entire back catalog. For $180, you could get triples. Triples is best. www.barrelhousemag.com/shop

The Western Hemisphere should never be allowed to host the World Cup. The whole point is to be able to get to work and watch soccer all day until I need to pick up my kids from summer camp. I should be watching Ghana-Uzbekistan at 9am.

I don’t remember why I have this CD or anything about the album or band or show it came from, but I’d like more of this vibe back in my life, please

As a neutral, this Stanley Cup final is amazing

LOVE this one today from Steff Sirois, and we think you should love it with us! "Eventually, we’ll watch a wrecking ball smash through the curved glass of the sunroom like it never mattered. The last time I was in there, you still had a body..." https://www.havehashad.com/egup9

But what if we added more protein

These Erin Dorney Scrabble Poems are so great and inventive and fun. "These visual poems were conceptualized by hand on a Scrabble board using a standard bag of 100 tiles." and they come with a couple of bonus HAD poems! https://www.havehashad.com/ft5su

Will go forward regardless but we need three or four more patrons to fund the Poetry EP series, which just goes toward paying the poets and for the cover art. malarkeybooks.com/store/poet-o...

when the book you're reading fits in your back pocket 🙌

Now through Friday if you order a book from our site that is not a preorder we will throw in two poetry zines, an issue of King Ludd’s Rag, and a random free book that’s been returned by a bookstore. Let’s go: malarkeybooks.com/store

On the eve of our submission window opening, we felt we should add an AI policy

Sunday night.

I am deliriously, ridiculously excited to announce my story collection "Field Guide to Mediocre Men" is coming out in summer 2028 from @unsolicitedpress.bsky.social. It's a book about guys and what's wrong with them. Also what's right with them. Can't wait for you to read it!

I'm back in Monkeybicycle today with a new flash story. This one is about comic books. Check it out if you wanna 💙 📚 Link to the story: monkeybicycle.net/downsizing/

Very true, I’ve experienced such a compulsion and lived to tell the tale

@malarkeybooks.bsky.social has started including a disclaimer in their books that the books are not permitted to be used to train AI and that they were not written with AI. More publishers should follow suit.

He’s a very serious writer, some say

Shared this on some other sites so should do it here too. I have a new book coming out later this year. It’s a collection of what I call “sports-adjacent” poems, poems that use sports & fandom to explore the self, fatherhood, etc, etc. Here’s the cover. It’s called Laterals.

I wrote an essay about Memorial Day called “Memorial Day” that @flightlit.bsky.social pubbed a couple months back, and since today *is* Memorial Day, here it is. 🤘

Counterpoint: No I will not

I’m nowhere near Connecticut but this lineup is great

My barber who I didn't think was that much younger than me was telling me about Pop Culture Jeopardy and said "I think someone your age would still get it," so excuse me while I wither away now

My book This World Will Never Run Out of Strangers came into the world six months ago today. If you've bought the book, read it, reviewed it, thought about buying it, or even just liked, shared, or laughed at/cheered for a post about it, you have my eternal and undying gratitude.
