It’s very cold here, but I’m blushing…

Wild…

Well that’s a very kind thing to say — thank you!

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…

“Even the air will have to pretend.” - Prince of Fire/Prince by Jane Mead www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi... @poetryfoundation.bsky.social #TodaysPoem #SundaySentence

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…

Excellent! And thanks so much for including my poem in this roundup!

Thank you! Still so grateful to @davidnaimon.bsky.social for this convo, its swerves, its surprises…

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!

The orchard was on fire, but that didn’t stop him from slowly walking straight into it, shirtless, you can see where the flames have foliaged—here, especially—his chest . . . from "Dirt Being Dirt" by Carl Phillips buff.ly/oWhB4p1

September and Friday and nightfall.

Today’s poem is selected by Carl Phillips as part of the 20th anniversary of Read A Little Poetry. It is Linda Gregg's birthday today, September 9th. "Alma to Her Sister" appeared in Too Bright to See by Linda Gregg, published by Graywolf Press, 1981.

I look for omens everywhere, because they are everywhere to be found. They come to me like strays, like the damaged, something that could know better, and should, therefore-but does not: a form of faith, you've said. - Carl Philips #Poetry #LiteratureSky 💙📚👀

"We're individual in our tastes, ambitions, disappointments. We carry inside us our own wildernesses, as particular in their obsessions as they are various in their surprises. These differences give context to the points of likeness between us." - Carl Phillips on community, in My Trade is Mystery

Thx, I forgot to post this myself! From this month’s @austbookreview.bsky.social

I tend to be pretty quiet here, but here’s a new profile pic…

Well, thank you very much!

Beautiful indeed.

Aha! I believe I know the Carl and Doug it’s dedicated to! I was very sorry to have to part with so many beloved books when I retired, but I reminded myself that the passalong world is how new readers find us. Cheers! And here’s to seeing you again soon!

I’m glad you decided to give it another try! Thank you!
