You Are Not Just Playing, You Are Co-Creating Nobody planned the grandma. Nobody planned her death. And nobody at that table has forgotten her.

Our conversation literally inspired the name for the last poem-I so remember being in Palm Desert and hearing "Necessary Prayer" -- I am all about giving credit where credit is due! And that poem is perforated, so you can take it out! Thank you both for all you do in the poetry world! 💕💫

Friends, Aaron received his pre-ordered copy of @kelliagodon.bsky.social's newest book "Accidental Devotions." You all will not be disappointed with these beautiful poems. Also, never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined being name checked in an actual poetry book! Thanks Kelli!!!

We had a great time chatting with @krlatour.bsky.social again!! open.spotify.com/episode/1Lu6...

Never did I ever dream that this girl from a town with one stoplight & no MFA would be taken seriously by The Academy. But I am here. I claim this space humbly, proudly & with gratitude to the poets who taught me through their example & their books.

Love this little clip with @mitchnobis.bsky.social. It was one of our first episodes, and one that made me feel like, yes! We can do this thing

I AM ON POETRY DAILY WOOOOOOO poems.com/poem/arts-an...

Had some stuff on the cutting room floor during tonight's edit. Consider this a bonus...a teaser...?? If anything its a sign we have something coming out tomorrow! That ultimately has nothing to do with this odd conversation...

Grateful for the chance to redeem myself! Thank you for laughing with me at some bad ones!

Happy is the day when there is new poetry to read. Thanks again @jasutherland.bsky.social for coming on our show. Excited to read some good poetry!

We had a blast revisiting @jasutherland.bsky.social past Plath inspired poetry! You can find the new episode here or where ever you listen to podcasts. www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e15

I just stumbled on an episode of @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social with @mitchnobis.bsky.social, who does NOT write bad poetry (or at least he doesn't publish it. ;-) It's a delightful episode, though, with Aaron and Dave. podcastindex.org/podcast/4286...

Another day, another guest book in the mail! Thanks @toddedillard.bsky.social for coming on the show. Excited to read some good poetry!

If you haven’t listened to @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social you have to check it out. I had a great time sharing laughs and my awful poetry drenched in teenage angst with the hilarious hosts. Felt like talking to old friends. Take a listen.

Excited to read this book by guest @pjtemple.bsky.social .. especially one she mentioned on the show!

Panel this morning at 9! Then I'll be haunting the bookfair... I've got a few more personal copies of Unrivered with me, if you still want one?

It would bring us great joy if those at AWP who have been a guest on our little show found each other, snapped a picture, and tagged us! Wishing all who are there a great time.

We are here with a new episode this morning. Today featuring @pjtemple.bsky.social! PJ Temple brings wonderfully bad works from the 90s. Enjoy! www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e14

We are back with a new episode! This time @rachelturney.bsky.social brings the gravitas and confidence these three poems deserve. 😜 Make sure to keep up with all her books and works @TurneyTalks www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e13 Enjoy!!

Yeeessss! I bring the worst poems Ive ever written on this show to relive the shame of early writing mishaps. Gosh do we have a good time. I encourage you to listen and support this gorgrous, Minnesota based podcast.

So thrilled to have @mvcpoet.bsky.social back on the show this week. He brought a nice little acrostic... and it took up the whole hour of recording! open.spotify.com/episode/6p0G...

A new episode with an old friend will drop tomorrow morning... Our first ever third time appearance... and they do not disappoint!

that was fun

it's me! if you want to hear the awful, maybe primordial (?), origins of what eventually became "Present Tense," stop by for a listen!

What was Aaron doing during the second half of the big game? Editing this amazing episode of course! Thanks @toddedillard.bsky.social for coming on the show and sharing a miracle of a revival from whatever that first poem was to the good one! www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e11

Finally back with a new episode this week! Just Dave and Aaron for this one but it's good to get back in the habit since we have four guests coming up in February. www.mybadpoetry.com/s8e10

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

If you look forward to our weekly show you may have noticed that we have not had new episodes as regularly this season. We still are making recordings when we can, we still love talking about poetry good and bad, and we have great guests scheduled in the near future! In the meantime "Luke 34:14a".

Announcement coming soon, but hey! NAWP reading coming your way on February 5th at 8:00 PM Eastern. Save the date! NAWP!

This was one of the few highlights of last week. A joy to record and hopefully a fun listen for you all as well. Thanks @ninapraterpoet.bsky.social for coming on the show!

There are so many online options...and wondrful podcasts that, even if they don't have space, are so kind if you reach out. @ofpoetrypodcast.bsky.social @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social @inthreepoems.bsky.social just to name a few...

Reach out & ask... I've been on podcasts, interview/reading series that I didn't know much about until I started watching/listening before I sent queries. Look at what peers are doing... For instance, I found out about @mybadpoetrythepod.bsky.social from listening to @taylorbyas.bsky.social .

Did trolling Joni Mitchell fans have the desired effect for our guest??? Probably not... which is why "Photo Stock" somehow found its way on our show... Listen to our newest episode with guest Erick Garske here: open.spotify.com/show/486Nozu...

This was a fun little exercise in vulnerability. Exorcising the demons of old bad poems that have haunted me for years!

Friends, after a need to reschedule back on Halloween, we were finally able to record with the great @krlatour.bsky.social! From a yearbook treasure to a seasonal horror, her bad poems have range. open.spotify.com/episode/3ied...

We're back! This time with the "Roll for Joy" dungeon master pastor himself, Rory Philstom. These selected poems definitely could have used a higher Performance check roll before writing... open.spotify.com/episode/1nZ8...

What's this? A raw new recording to be edited?? Hey I think we (finally) have a new episode coming!

What’s that? A surprise “A Word?”! KSR and Chuck Hobbes, an award winning essayist and attorney, sit down and talk about writing and a those red pen wielding moms who shape who we are. Click here! x.com/press_roi/st...

O where does the pressure all go? One extra faucet and there is no flow This barely a trickle Puts us in a pickle Oh... NOW is when the plumbers show. Oh, and Dave's car broke down in the middle of nowhere... Unfortunately unforeseen events has caused this week's recording to be rescheduled.

Ive never had more fun than on this podcast. I also brought one of the worst poems you could imagine to this show and they actually went through the whole dang thing with me. Theyre the kindest poetry lovers.

Friends! We are having so much fun with all of you amazing people. Let's keep the party going!

Look what showed up in the mail! Considering how incredible they were to chat with about bad poetry I cant wait to read their good stuff!!! @djvorreyer.bsky.social and Devondra Banks.
