Beautiful new book by Ron Padgett! Exciting to see him in the NYRB series. I devoured the book minutes after I picked it up at the local indie on Saturday, wrote a poem about the experience of reading it, sent the poem to Ron, and he said it was "lovely." A great exchange with a great American!

Meanwhile, Canada be like...

Herein I read a short story of mine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8uU...

Pierre Poilievre is leaning heavily into rage and disinformation. His interview with Jordan Peterson speaks volumes about where he will take the politics of our nation. I was once targeted by Jordan Peterson and the death threats I faced went off the charts. www.thestar.com/opinion/deat...

Every year I write a poem on New Year's Day and send it out to friends, etc. Here's this year's: bloggamooga.blogspot.com/2025/01/my-2...

My chest feels crammed with the losses of so many very close writer friends over the past decade. Two were like brothers. Three were mentors. For some reason, it's hitting me as tonight's instalment of Insomniaville.

Did a reading in Kenosha, Wisconsin, at Carthage College in October, where Richard Meier was teaching my novel Pockets in his class. I read from that, as well as a bunch of poems. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbU5...
