So cool! Thank you, Sydney!

The UMass Amherst Department of Classics invites CANE members to join in remotely for a lecture by the renowned poet, Carl Phillips. As our 2026 David Grose Memorial Lecturer, Professor Phillips will share his work and reflections on a fascinating career. caneweb.org/invitation-t...

Thank you for reading!

“Each poem is a fumbling forward, toward a glimpse of clarity through a thicket of quandary, before everything blurs again back to the everyday business of living a life that mostly doesn't include a lot of self-reflection; we might see more than we should, or wanted to.” — Carl Phillips

So honored to be part of it!

34 years ago my first book came out and changed my life — today is PUB DAY for the reissue, with a new afterword! Thank you, little book, and thank you @fsgbooks.bsky.social

Here, where his body lay, gather up all the broken-stemmed flowers; photograph the water, that in the wind repeatedly makes for shore and misses— ~from "The Glade" by Carl Phillips AGNI 33

“Making safety in the moment.” Linda Gregg

My only syllabic poem! Written when I had my students write a syllabic poem for a prosody class! (And then I dismantled it, years later, and saved only one line, which appears in a different poem…) #revision

“ — Why not move like light, reflected, across the snow?”

Thank you! From my very first book - In the Blood - (being reissued this March)!

Thank you! And a poem or two daily seems a perfect way to read a book of poetry! Happy new year…

Finding myself included in the Heated Rivalry mix, thx to syntax, wasn’t anywhere on my end-of-2025 bingo card, but I’m absolutely here for it…

A space, a moment in which we can safely trust — that may be the most useful and valuable gift we can give one another.

Wow! This calligraphy gives the poem a whole different life…! Thank you!

A classic already!

A poem that deepens with each reading, and each time haunts me differently…

Still feeling just as lost…And to think I once thought being lost was just a phase…ha!

“Ellen taught me to take myself seriously and especially to take poetry seriously, not just the making of it, but how to think and speak about it.” @cphillipspoet.bsky.social remembers Ellen Bryant Voigt. yalereview.org/article/trib...

I love this

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...

Thank you so much!
