ChatGPT / an LLM will never have angst over its writing and that’s why it will never be as good as you, a fallible human, wrapped around the coil of your own anxiety and heart muscle

Robert Pinsky's translation of "Incantation."

My friends in high school used to call it Pacey’s Creek and it is wild how right they turned out to be. (This tweet is for geriatric millennials)

Thrilled to have a poem in the new issue of The Fiddlehead ♥️

Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

This Passover I’m thinking hard about the holiday’s history of resistance to tyrannical leaders, and the imperative for Jewish people to stand with all oppressed peoples of the world.

So grateful to have been named a Semifinalist! Thank you @adroitjournal.bsky.social & congrats to the Scholars (especially @spaghettiutopia.bsky.social, of whom I’m a perpetual fangirl)! theadroitjournal.org/2025/04/08/a...

What a great time to impeach and convict the president.

It’s going to be 60 degrees in Boston on Saturday—let’s turn up the heat on Elon and his supporters! actionnetwork.org/events/tesla...

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

“At the museum I learn I am as tall as some bombs.” — Steven Duong, “Ordnance,” At The End Of The World There Is A Pond

new poem—thank you @yalereview.bsky.social

Can't wait to read with two poets I so admire! Join me, @dianacao.bsky.social, & Angela Siew on the 21st! www.eventbrite.com/e/poetry-rea...

my student: goats are a very food motivated animal and this can present some challenges me, a Capricorn: wow, OK yeah

i hope i die warmed by the life that i tried to live — Nikki Giovanni

Stone Circle #ThrowbackThursday poem: "Re: your lab results" by Hannah Grieco (@writesloud.bsky.social) #TBT stonecirclereview.com/re-your-lab-...

thinking about that Billy Collins interview… everyone has particular turnoffs when reading; it’s natural! but it’s also worthwhile, I think, to be mindful of them and at least acknowledge the possibility that the fault lies not in the writing, but in you as a reader

🔥Coeditor Sven Birkerts (@birkerts.bsky.social) has arrived—give him a follow! And while you're at it, check out "Ed Simon on What Sven Birkerts Got Right in The Guttenberg Elegies” on @literaryhub.bsky.social! lithub.com/in-praise-of...

I can’t see all of any horse at once. They weave through twilight, in and out of sight, as the sky drains of color, enters dusk. The barn’s a bloodstain on an ivory dress, lost in the skirt, a spiraling red kite. ~from "Come Back" by Chloe Honum AGNI 70

“For me, the revision is often when a poem is too controlled... I haven't really disrupted it from the bottom -- and that's when I step in to mess with it and experiment.” -- Allison Adair

I’m very excited to introduce these three talented poets tomorrow night! In-person tickets are sold out, but you can still join us virtually! @dianacao.bsky.social @mbrrray.bsky.social www.grolierpoetrybookshop.org/upcoming-rea...

Everyone say hi to @agnimagazine.bsky.social!

love a good “O” in a poem, little fearless halo, the line’s volume knob turned all the way up, the stanza’s submarine window through which we glimpse an ocean of thought and feeling

I saw the worst minds of my generation appointed to cabinets

Excited to share my poem Faint Drum, which received a BOTN nomination this week from The Arkansas International:

Can someone please direct me to the poets starter pack??? (I dislike this phrase) (Still, one discovers that there is in it after all, a place for the genuine etc)

I’m here 🦋 & looking for the poets!
