Ellen Bryant Voigt—poet and founder of the first low-residency MFA program—transformed American poetry and the way it’s taught. Catherine Barnett, @victoriachang.bsky.social, @cphillipspoet.bsky.social, and @meghanor.bsky.social pay tribute to a singular mentor. yalereview.org/article/trib...

Reading @victoriachang.bsky.social in the small hours, soaking it up. Maybe if I soak it up I could write like this. Poems that make you say "oh my god". & tell such truthful lies. "I have cut eight lines off this poem for no/ other reason except that they were lies. Perhaps all lines/ are lies."

Reading (for the second time) @victoriachang.bsky.social 's "With My Back to the World". I love the way these poems inhabit the artworks they describe. But I also love the moments of distance: "I realized that I needed to/ return on a day when I too could rope off my sadness."

Rest in peace, Ellen Bryant Voigt. You were a force of nature and one of the sharpest people I've ever known. You will be greatly missed.

Last chance to register for Poetry@Tech's virtual craft talk with Rick Barot on syntax (this Saturday at 11am PT/2pm ET). Anyone can join! Link in bio to register.

Honored to serve as a Neustadt juror this year. Made new friends, saw many old friends.

Rest in Peace, dear Jubi Arriola-Headley

This is perfect.

Americans elevated the worst possible people, & they are doing everything they promised. So, @theferocity.bsky.social & @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social curated THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT to help folk connect to community and persevere. I’m grateful to participate in one of the in-person book launch events!
