Congratulations on ACCOMPLISHMENT SUNDAY! Contributors @maxpasakorn.bsky.social and @officialmchangpoet.bsky.social‬ both have chapbooks listed in New Delta Review's Chapbook Competition Shortlist!

no I am not at AWP (& honestly the FOMO is SO REAL) but I somehow received this very special message from THE JANE WONG whose Tin House memoir I absolutely DEVOURED like a chicken wing… 😭😭😭 courtesy of Shze-Hui Tjoa who introduced me to Jane as her biggest fan in Singapore…

my poem has been nominated for Best New Poets!!!!! 😭😭😭😭

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

Fresh off the press: FOUR new poems about my hometown, all titled “Bangkok, Thailand” in The Seventh Wave’s community anthologies!! Thank you my editor Para for your keen eye loving and editing these poems with me!! Read them at theseventhwave.org/publication/...

The first ACCOMPLISHMENT SUNDAY of the month brings us an interview 🥰 Contributor @recycledgiraffe.bsky.social interviewed Anton Hur about TOWARD ETERNITY for @wwborders.bsky.social . Enjoy this conversation on exploring possibility: https://buff.ly/42B43tL

have some new poems dropping tomorrow!! so, as a little teaser, here’s a very relevant screenshot from Finnish Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

A poem about queer joy reprinted in an anthology from my Alma mater. Inspired by Franny Choi’s “Science Fiction”. I also love dissing poor innocent straight people. 😆 #FuckAroundandFindOut

Woke up this morning to a beautiful rejection email for my poetry chapbook and… I’m so 😭😭😭 I was about to abandon this project but now I guess I MUST continue writing it!!!

conservatism (the overreliance on familiarity) stems from fear, especially when the stakes for one's choices are high. the way to overcome that fear is not (just) risk assessment, but trust. trust that after the choice, it would be better. that's liberty.

constantly reminding myself the world is much bigger than i think it is

just updated my website (maxpasakorn.works) with a forthcoming publication from The Seventh Wave and I'm so happy I wrote four poems with the same damn title cause this listing got me laughing to myself!! (Shoutout to Para my amazing editor for editing these poems!)

Way to go, Split Lip FAM! Congrats to @sfmontgomery.bsky.social @aniokevincent.bsky.social @claudiamonpere.bsky.social @kimmagowan.bsky.social @aniking.bsky.social @brijohnson.bsky.social @cdeskilson.bsky.social @katedoyle.bsky.social @toddedillard.bsky.social @abbiekiefer.bsky.social & many more!

I find that the best books are the ones where you can see sentences sommersaulting words on a page like they’re flipping soufflé omelets… every single page, every single sentence.

This ironically has been the year I found poetry again. Even if the poems aren’t perfect.

anal sex is so overrated like gimme cuddles and kisses and maybe a bit of oral anyday

one of my favorite, favorite short poems

To the young who want to die.

gosh i really need to pursue the creative writing opportunities in the US. i just need to. Singapore is not only dry but too interpersonally political. Miss maam I'm gonna write about d*ck and c*ck in my poems and the people here write about Thursday afternoons and elderly care.

Gosh when life is this depressing all I wanna do is escape into books but when I try to read I get distracted by how depressed I am

Finished Jane Wong’s memoir last night and I was crying-laughing my way to sleep. It’s so beautiful, like looking into a mirror of my own life, and I’m sad I can’t experience it for the first time again.

omg my first chapbook is really basically sold out after a year… 😭 I gotta work on my next BOOK already!

Twitter is basically the used condom of social media.

Every day I’m collecting little things that I can eventually weave into a lyric essay

Ok new thing I discovered on this app — hot guy reading Thom Gunn aloud. Maybe this is better than Twitter.

just casually following writers as I’m setting up this new app account and saw @tonytula.com’s display pic of Enoshima Junko and I laughed SO HARD cause isn’t Junko the perfect encapsulation of Rejections as a whole book omg MAN I love worldly crossovers

I love how I’m supposed to like 10 posts to show the algorithm what I like but I don’t like any of the basic bitch things the algorithm is showing me SORRY ALGORITHM
