Happy birthday to the most encouraging group of writers I know! I’ve been with them in Berlin, Brussels, Madrid, and Paris … and I can’t wait for where we go this year. 💜💜💜

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

I had a great time last week listening to @cariwriting.bsky.social share poems from her new chapbook, which won the Yellow Jacket Press 2025 chapbook award. #poetryopenmic #poetrychapbooks #poetry #floridapoets

So happy to have a flash piece (which began as a writing prompt last year) in the fantastic @thin-skin.bsky.social … enjoy all the good work in this issue. 💜 thin-skin.com/flash-fictio...

Tickets procured and yes I am looking forward to September even though it’s only January. See you in Madrid, EWS besties. 💜

And so this is happening. If you find yourself in St Petersburg FL in early February, please come hear me read some poems. Maybe read some of your own! 💜

You’ll find me celebrating this incredible organization ALWAYS, and especially on their 2nd birthday. 🎉🌟🩵

#Fridayreads is a sweet and tender story. 🩵

Reading poems! Sipping cider! So grateful to have a literary crew at “home” in Florida. 💜

A double dose of #fridayreads today, and I’ll be adding some László Krasznahorkai before the weekend is over, too, because #Nobel Happy reading, friends.

Meet us in Paris, writer friends!

My #fridayreads is “Foster” by Claire Keegan, which I began reading in a lovely, leafy park in Brussels 💜

Don’t ask me to do anything for the next month. I already HAD too much writing to do, and now that I’m fresh off the @saloneurope.bsky.social salon in Brussels, there is even MORE writing to do. I’m at my desk. And I’m not leaving it until Madrid. 💜

Found everything I need in Brussels. #books #reading

I am in Brussels and 😍😍😍 I already love this city!

When in Sweden …

I’ll take it. 😌🤷‍♀️🎉🥂

It’s been an excellent year for #horror. I just saw Weapons and it’s A+++++++

An exciting chapbook development 🎉🎉😊

My #Fridayreads is “Shadow Tag” by Louise Erdrich, who writes like no other. Popular with Oliver P. James, household cat, as well.

You will find a story by me in this fantastic new issue of Penstricken, and I have spent the morning enjoying every other contributor’s glorious work. 💜

I’m now writing a prose poem about that time I slighted my neighbor thanks to another lovely workshop with @saloneurope.bsky.social and @julieirigaray.bsky.social So grateful for this community 💜 #poems #amwriting

At Silent Book Club tonight, reading up on The Little Virtues in preparation for next week’s book club with @saloneurope.bsky.social 💜 📚

New York friends. Please. ⬇️

Sunrise in St Augustine, FL this morning. 💜

Judith Magazine has put out a gorgeous folio on their substack called “This Moment.” I have a poem included among the poems of some of my writing heroines. Check it out. 💜 judithmagazine.substack.com/p/this-momen...

Were the notebooks ever really mine? Was the desk? A lament.

Poem acceptance just came in from one of my favorite journals, excuse me if I am impossible for the rest of the day.

Doing something different! #fridayreads

Happy to have a micro-memoir published in Grub Street. What are we doing if we’re not reading literary journals, people…?

You will want to read this fantastic flash by @brechtdp.bsky.social

Random pair of shoes spotted on my morning walk. I like to think there’s a man standing inside of them. He’s maybe watching a bird or taking a sip of his coffee or looking at a good-morning text and is just being still while I walk by.

I don’t know what’s going on, but I can’t stop reading. #amreading #books

Well, now I want to live in London. GREAT. #London

What a fun, seaside-y town! Can’t wait to write with a view. #Brighton

My fellow speakers and digital nomads at our Alicante Summit last week. I MISS them!!

#FridayReads!

I don’t know how to salsa dance, but I do know how to drink good wine. Here’s a piece I wrote about that—showing up today on the very fun Dear Booze website. Cheers. dearbooze.com/cocktales/f/...

So much fun reading with some talented writers this evening!
