Seen in the wild at Little City Books in Hoboken: ESTATE SALE sandwiched between a few #poets you’ve probably never heard of 😆 (!) #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #booksky #sealeychallenge

This is a fantastic book of poetry. Definitely get yourself a copy.

A year ago today, @uofupress.bsky.social called & let me know they’d be publishing my book of #poetry. The elation! Today, it’s 4 sale online—just in time 4 the #SealeyChallenge. & if you don’t participate in that, that’s cool, too—you can still have a quiet, slow read 😀: dmurphy.online/estate-sale/

It goes on. Stories I wrote about long months ago continue to be repeated and the world is watching. MAY 2025 on MSNBC after winning the Pulitzer Prize.

There's one more week to submit to the Florida State Poets Association annual contest! You do not need to be a member to enter. Please share with all your poetry friends 😍 #poetrycontest #poetry #floridapoets #floridapoetry #poetrysky flpoets.org/contests/

Swirl & Vortex, the collected poems of Larry Levis, will be published next February by @graywolfpress.bsky.social. So pleased that the full breadth of Levis’s immensely beautiful, troubled and troubling lyric poetry will be available to read.

Here are seven poetry collections you should check out in July, featuring James Cagney, Marissa Davis, Cassandra Whitaker, and more.

Just read “Estate Sale” by Dan Murphy (dmurphy.bsky.social). One of the best poetry collections I’ve read in a long time. Focused but expansive, formally adept but varied, personal but relatable. A thing of beauty. Highly recommend.

“Only loudspeakers will spout joy.”— from the #poem “This Land’s No Joy” by Nguyên Chí Thiên, translated from the Vietnamese by Huynh Sanh Thông & apropos of nothing in particular…

It's publication week for my first poetry collection. If you read poetry, you might dig it. If you don't but still want to support me and my press (the wonderful @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social), your library might want it.

I promised I’d share this. Please help out if you can & the appeal moves you. Poets looking out for poets. gofund.me/cf80bdb1

Wow. So deeply disappointing from a journal I’ve long admired. Research is exploration. Structure is meaning. Brainstorming is thought. These should not be outsourceable.

Thanks so much for sharing! Great to see it already making its way from @uofupress.bsky.social to bookshelves—hope it holds up! 😀

Lotta political violence, oppression, & repression going on in the world. Might be a bit of loftiness to say that #poetry is the antidote. But, maybe it is? Or at least a start? And maybe it will make you feel good to buy my new book? Or maybe just me? But here it is: uofupress.com/books/estate...

I made this list of Nonviolent Political Actions for Writers for a course I taught during TFG 1.0 on Writers & Resistance. Please share. You do not need to be a writer to participate. "You are here on this earth at this time. Don't act like you're not a part of what's going on."
