Next weekend!! (April 25th-26th) Join us for an epic poetry showdown where 10 teams from across the country battle it out for fame, glory, and a cash prize! Tickets: midwestpoetrymashup.square.site (But seriously, I love this tournament and it is SO fun and I hope to see you there!)

Thursday, April 3: Join me for a virtual workshop exploring how poets/artists can meet this moment. I don't have answers, but will share examples, tools, tactics. It's part of this @buttonpoetry.bsky.social series: you can register just for mine, or explore others: buttonpoetry.com/product/butt...

More and more poets showing up here. Today it's @ollieschminkey.bsky.social, who wrote one (two really) of my favorite books. Our books came out around the same time, and we did a deep dive conversation about process, "the work" of our work, and more here: guante.info/2022/05/10/o...
