My thanks to everyone who came out for the launch party tonight! A special thanks to Sean Hillman for handling the zoom and to those who’ve been so supportive of so much of my work. That was a blast!

Among the many sadnesses in the world right now, this is one that hits particularly close to home. Trinity UP has been fantastic to work with through the processes of co-editing, with Ann Fisher-Wirth, The Ecopoetry Anthology and then Attached to the Living World: A New Ecopoetry Anthology. 1/2

How do our movements create resonance(s) between us? asks issue editor Dr. Mita Mahato. ➡️Resonance. I am thinking about insects. Their buzzing, winging, rubbing, clicking, scurrying fill my ears. At its most fundamental, “resonance” means sound again. aboutplacejournal.org/issues/caref...

Next up on my schedule: The Official Book Launch Party for Incendiary. Next Thursday at 7:30 PM EST VIA ZOOM. My thanks to everyone who purchased a virtual ticket. I look forward to hanging and reading from INCENDIARY! #BookSky

There are days when I am so grateful that I am a poet, an artist, a thinking person who cherishes humanity. I salute all who cherish humanity, we are in opposition to many people who do not.

A poet asked me, for the issue of @Pshares.bsky.social i’m editing, whether I’m looking for poems on a certain theme. I answered, “I’m looking for poems that weave structure & meaning so they can’t be separated— Structure fully realized & expressed like the shape of a flower.”

My first career choice was as a monk so, as an academic, my sense that my industry is collapsing is possibly less than it might have been.

Home from Ireland but also partly still there.

Sure, at one point today it was 74 degrees on my front porch which is awfully hot for where I live, but there's a cool breeze out there now and the signs are that "hot girl summer" is over and "feral season of mists hedgewitch autumn" is just getting ready to launch.

Sometimes I run across a poem that I just want to press my face into and breathe deeply. Leslie Harrison, this is one of them. Thank you. www.quarterlywest.com/extreme-envi...

“There's something about a picture book being brought into question that really indicates how far this government is willing to go to erase history. That has terrifying implications for all of us.” - #BlackEarthInstitute Fellow @marjory.bsky.social www.postandcourier.com/charleston_s...

"words without transgression rewards commodification. banal radicalism couched in the guffaw of capitalism. but for its innovation in predictable practice a unit is awarded an endowed chair. critical imagination is recalled in the passive. the unit is now a professor of inconsistency and evasion."
