Poem by Sean Thomas Dougherty.

So delighted to have this little poem appear in @ampoetryreview.bsky.social, alongside a handful of others! Much gratitude to the editors!

Unexpected & supercool box of merch from TRP! 7 copies of The Cave left from the first readings, and I don't plan on reading in the next couple months. Anybody want one? Send $25 to www.venmo.com/u/Ryan-Vine-1, and I'll send you a signed copy and a bunch of cool merch! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

From "The Cave" by @ryanvine.bsky.social #smallpoemsunday @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

Ryan Vine's new book, "The Cave," is marvelous... ...including this little gem that parses the line between solitude & merely being alone ❤️ @ryanvine.bsky.social

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

The Cave launches in two weeks! It would be lovely to see you. "what miracle is possible with finite time"—Mahogany Browne "beautiful writing"—Ilya Kaminski "crafty and beautifully crafted"—Mike Bazzett "compact, driven, urgent"—Bart Sutter www.facebook.com/events/14069...

Hey, @lakesuperior.bsky.social! You alright.

Happy Birthday, Fernando Pessoa!

My new book is available for preorder!🔥🔥🔥 “These are poems that don’t let go, by a poet who sings of human love with grit and honesty and extraordinary tenderness.” —Patrick Phillips “This is manly work, utterly masterful, and deeply moving.” —Connie Wanek www.tamupress.com/book/9781680...

Everything about this is a tragedy, every level, from cheated freelancers to authors obscured to readers who don’t get served either.

Woot woot! My book has a cover and is officially available for preorder: www.tamupress.com/book/9781680... "These poems are as indelible as scars—and just as full of ancient wisdom." —Dobby Gibson

This is so full of love

W.S. Merwin died on this day in 2019 and left us, besides some of the greatest poetry of the past century, what may be the single best piece of advice on how to stay sane in the creative life

Back cover of Bill Knott's self-published chapbook. I found this in 2001 slid between books in the Grolier Poetry Bookshop. Louisa told me Bill would hide them, and that--because I'd found it--I could keep it.
