You think you’re having a bad day?

I am so pleased to have my work in this issue of The Freshwater Review. It contains the poem that won the Rose Warner Prize for Poetry and this other as well. 💚

Summertime heron in the pine

Yet is there hope. Time and tide flow wide.

Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.

Big congratulations to Erin for winning the Rose Warner Prize for poetry!

To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me. Sometimes I think there’s naught beyond.

feeling fortunate for this crew and all the fine work y'all sent to the Freshwater Review!

Thanks for the show last night, @lakesuperior.bsky.social

When I imagined fighting the robots I didn’t imagine poems as part of that but that’s on me. www.euronews.com/next/2025/12...

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

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
