How to Write a War Poem from my latest collection of poems titled Hold Your Own @coppercanyonpress.bsky.social published in 2024

THIS, in a week! So excited to revisit Montréal/Tiohtià:ke & read bordercrossing poems that were born in that city I love...

Why some people are called expats and others migrants. The migration of birds. A person that feels like home. A country, a place, a language, a body that doesn´t. Poetry and CNF welcome, black and white drawings are also possible.

The second poem in the #SpotlightSeries (curated by @robmclennan.bsky.social) is after @aeheelee.bsky.social's amazing "Conversation with Immigration Officer" 🔥(www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...) To read my #SpotlightSeries poems & author statement: robmclennan.medium.com/spotlight-se...

One of the poems in the #SpotlightSeries (curated by @robmclennan.bsky.social) is dedicated to my brilliant poet-friend @amoghaaa.bsky.social 🔥 To read both poems & the accompanying author statement: robmclennan.medium.com/spotlight-se...

« I often find myself meditating on borders as liquid fault lines. Liquids, of course, don’t respect borders. Water finds porousness. » Good timing for this meditation, leading up to the April/16 #PoetryMatters event on « borders, boundaries, margins » ☺️ Thank you, @robmclennan.bsky.social 💙

EXCUSE ME?!

« They were things both with and without rules » — @mishasolomon.bsky.social on poems, writing, & his debut, in interview with @robmclennan.bsky.social 💙💙

"Technique & heart... ...You ever read a book you’re enjoying then, turn aghast, want to close the book & hide it because otherwise you’ll read it all too fast & be done? Yeah, that." —@pearlpoet.bsky.social's fabulous review of @mishasolomon.bsky.social's debut poetry collection❤️‍🔥

[DB 1/3] «DANTE’S BUREAU», my manifesto on bureaucracy, is out with Anstruther Press❗ 🛂 I've long been haunted by forms (both poetic & bureaucratic), questioning their history, coping with their borders, writing within/about them… This is a limited ed., so don't wait until your file your taxes 🙃

from my 3rd book Waterbaby @coppercanyonpress.bsky.social "Catfish"

Ciao from Parma, looking for Pessoa, who dreamt a dream of Parma that became a rhizomatic play about the limits of sanity that now is a collective dream…

Just mailed some postcards from Italy & the mailbox is its own postcard 💙

1/3 Since 2024, I have collaborated with @assistedlab.bsky.social to research cultural objects that have influenced the legal debate on MAiD. 💡 As my work has been haunted by borders & bureaucracies, I became interested in how MAiD is often framed as a bordercrossing that requires a visa.

'Translúcido' follows the last day of Rubén, an Ecuadorian immigrant in NYC who decided to forgo cancer treatment & end his life. An ECU/VEN/USA co-production, the film has reverberated differently in the 3 countries. I've written for @assistedlab.bsky.social about the film & its repercussions.

a knockout of a scream from Adam Gianforcaro that I love more and more every reread "I SAY I’LL BE BETTER BUT I WON’T BE BETTER. HUMANS SAY THAT A LOT. THE FIRST PART AT LEAST. ABOUT BEING BETTER. I’M SORRY ABOUT THAT TOO. WE SAY THINGS WE DON’T MEAN..." https://www.havehashad.com/m7psu

This book has the most scathing dedication by an illustrator I have ever seen (and he is completely right) #kidlit

Pessoa left us an unpublished play titled «The Duke of Parma»: ℹ️ A Duke that may or may not be mad, but who is certainly murderous/misogynistic. Councilors debate his ability to govern while plotting to overthrow him, whereas the Duke thinks his councilors are fools! 🤔 Strangely contemporary, no?

Late to my own game, just realized that Frontier shared my reading from "The death of Jean Charles de Menezes"❗ Gratitude to the amazing judge @ariamisha.bsky.social, then-editor Megan Kim, & the whole Frontier team ❤️‍🔥 👉 For the full poem & Aria's blurb: www.frontierpoetry.com/2023/04/11/c...

don't miss these from Bea Sophia! the last is maybe especially my fave "My friend Emma asked if the poem about the Pret bathroom was about her and I said no it was about Rebecca and Rebecca asked if the poem about missing the bus was about her..." https://www.havehashad.com/oiayt

Congrats on TACOMA, Aaron—& this is what I call a party! 🤩

Thanks to @alllitupcanada.bsky.social for sharing this sneak peek from my book!

So wonderful to meet a new Nikki Wallschlaeger poem—& to watch it burn layers of BS rhetoric down to the core of power ❤️‍🔥

I’ve written for @assistedlab.bsky.social about José Saramago’s fabulous novel “Death with Interruptions,” focusing on the ethical questions it raises around assisted dying.

today's Kaitlan Bui poem is one of my fave things i've read in a while. so honored to get to share it. "when he was my age, my grandfather would comb the scalp of the forest for shells, then write letters to the families of dead bodies he found." https://www.havehashad.com/3vdnr

"i repeated & scribbled until it picked its way & stagnated somewhere i can’t point to anymore, maybe my gut— maybe there in-between my pancreas & large intestine is the piddly brook of my soul." —Renee Nicole Good, poet murdered by ICE

We are delighted to publish Tracy Fuad’s (@tracyfuad.bsky.social) extraordinary little poem, “Living.” In just a few words, she manages to build this vast interconnected universe where objects and bodies seamlessly blur together: bulbregion.com/Living-by-Tr...
