There goes that dream. The dream was only a few months old, though, as I didn't think I had a shot until recently.

Over moon to be the winner of the 2025 Amy Lowell Prize for my poem “Astropastoral (The Second Pentacle of the Sun).”

I've got a half hour to rock the mic while you paint. If there's no little pitchers with big ears, I'll perform some more...blue material.

...about that time the networks broadcast shitty, transphobic ads during the World Series. #poetry #writingcommunity #jasonotoolepoet

If you work for ABC/Disney and have any insight on how the Kimmel fallout is playing out inside the company, please contact me on Signal at juddlegum.47 I will maintain your anonymity.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Beautiful artwork inspired by my poem "Sleight" from my collection The Strange Misgivings of the Sadly Gifted. #writingcommunity #poetry #collageclub #collage #NewEnglandPoetryClub #jasonotoolepoet

My poem "Glory" leads off the inaugural issue of Phil Lit. #writingcommunity #NewEnglandPoetryClub #jasonotoolepoet

The real villain is Nexstar who pulled from all their ABC affiliates and have a big merger pending FCC approval. Boycott The CW, NewsNation, Food Network, The Hill, and 200 local tv stations (Google your area). Spread the word.

PLEASE Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site. #ChuckandJim #BlueSky

An apology is insufficient. Everyone email [email protected] and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble

Or...hear me out. We can do what I do and at least try to offer people in crisis the help they need. Many of my clients are disabled vets. Would Brian have them euthanized? How about single mothers who can't afford sky high rents and groceries in the Trump economy?

Are any journalists asking why Homeland Security named an operation “Blitz” after the Nazi bombing campaign against Britain? I had family in London back then who saw buildings leveled and people killed.

Bruce Loose was a poet. Rest easy...

Instead of reading The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley or Ezra Pound's Cantos for the Sealey Challenge, grab a micro chap from Ghost City Press. Don't cost nothin'... @sealeychallenge.bsky.social

Open mic hosts love me as I get up and read a couple short poems and sit my ass back down. Sure, I have a few poems that go a few pages, some of my most popular and action packed poems do, but those are reserved for when I'm the feature. Leave 'em wanting more is my motto.
