"This book teems with invention, weaving lyric in and out of forms archival, visual, redactive, and playful." –Diana Khoi Nguyen sundress-publications.square.site/product/bloo...

the opposite of the weird right wingers hating cities, deeply and unapologetically loving them, because for all their issues they're where things happen and we meet each other and have room to become who we are

Gratitude! I won the Enoch Pratt Poetry Prize! My poem was chosen by the editor of Poet Lore and will be in their Winter/Spring issue. #poetry #poetrycommunity Thanks for the nudge to submit, @kelliagodon.bsky.social

What a nice surprise. I never got to see the shortlist earlier so was really not expecting this. So many great photos never even made the SL this week. Thanks @supergios.bsky.social !

There’s enough light to go around for everyone. Collaborate instead of competing. Uplift and share the joy. 💛

Somethinge ys happeninge wyth poetrye. It ys showinge up more yn unexpectid places. People are talkinge about it more. Walke downe the streete and a poeme will fly above you. Somethinge ys goinge to happen wyth poetrye, somethinge goode. Poetrye ys on the move.

Trying to pray with Portuguese maestro Eugenio de Andrade To see clearly Tr. Alexis Levitin All poetry is luminous, even the most obscure. It is the reader who, at times, instead of sun, has fog within.

The Artemis missioun doth show that the thinges that are trulye the most astoundinge yn thys worlde, the thinges that will echo on thrugh historye, are not technologye, howevir marvelous, but common human braverye, wondir, and love. These will be the themes when thys storye ys tolde for centuryes.

This is the most vulnerable thing I've ever done. I've published my first poetry collection: The Sweetening.

So delighted to find out today that Floodwater was a finalist in the American Legacy Awards for poetry (general). Floodwater was published in 2014 , by Glass Lyre press
