Teaching things! Been thinking a lot about what is fleeting, about longing and loss and what comes next. What I call Temporary Kingdoms. And teaching a class about it. Poetry is sometimes the best way to find a path forward. And back. Deets below and link to Litfield in bio. Hope to see you there!

Happy to have a poem about one of my favorite things on Poem-a-Day today. Selected by Kim Addonizio. poets.org/poem-a-day

We strive to keep Black voices centered year-round, and we are honored to celebrate just a few of those we love this February. Today we give shout-outs to the talents of: DANUSHA LAMÉRIS (@danushalameris.bsky.social), JERICHO BROWN, CAMILLE RANKINE (@camillerankine.bsky.social), and ROGER REEVES.

I’m teaching a craft class online Sundays in March. Come for the poetry and community. Get unstuck. Get some new poems started. Good for prose writers too! Online. Live and also recorded to watch later. Scholarships available. danusha-lameris.mykajabi.com/store
