AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Couldn’t be more grateful for this remarkably insightful review/essay from Nick Moss. 🙏💙🤍 @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @catapultbooks.bsky.social www.culturematters.org.uk/poetry-from-...

You can hear me ramble about my new book here 💙🤍🧡🩷🩵 @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @catapultbooks.bsky.social www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...

I just got plastic: a poem by @matthew-rice.bsky.social and I’m really looking forward to digging in. It’s going to be a few because I’m on a tight deadline but I can’t wait to read it!

Lovely to see plastic on frieze’s winter reads list 🤍💙🙏 www.frieze.com/article/what...

We had a blast at yesterday’s launch 🤍💙

True stuff here. Worth reminding yourself of the lies and hypocrisy on the deranged right. youtube.com/watch?v=ZRwL...

I just signed a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social petition: It's time to abolish ICE. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/it...

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Reminder: ICE’s budget has not been renewed — the House voted, but not the Senate — It will take 10 Democratic votes to stop it Pressure your senators

We have made the decision to formally close our X social media account. Once a vibrant platform to promote the interests of authors, we feel X is no longer a trusted place for balance, community support, and reliable information.

Looking forward to getting started! ❤️🤍

If Bondi would obey the law and release the Epstein files today, the cat would be out of the bag, and Trump would lose his incentive for invading foreign countries and sending his Gestapo to kill American citizens.

I've signed this petition calling for the government to shut down X for producing sexual abuse images. Will you do the same? my.uplift.ie/petitions/sh... @uplift.ie

WASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.

Happy publication day to @matthew-rice.bsky.social's plastic! 📚 🌟 A January 2026 #IndieNext Pick! 🌟 ✨ "[A] sparse, punchy, and profound book-length poem that pries into the often absurd, almost surreal nature of twenty-first-century labor conditions." — @ala-booklist.bsky.social

😊☺️

I have this book by @matthew-rice.bsky.social and it's a cracker.

Humbled 🥲🥲🥲

Humbled by this review by essayist and novelist Brian Dillon. He truly gets what the book is trying to do 🙏💙🤍 @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social @catapultbooks.bsky.social www.4columns.org/dillon-brian...

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Was just subjected to minute 42 to minute 78 of Eat Pray Love, and my WORD is that a horrendous movie.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Thanks to Jennifer Lee Tsai for including plastic in her best recent poetry review roundup in the Guardian. 💙🤍 www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Really astute analysis here, for anyone uninitiated to Rogan’s BS. youtube.com/watch?v=wkkR...

Hup! 💙🤍 #poetry @bricklanebookshop.bsky.social

Extremely funny to call the pope “holier-than-thou”

🙏❤️

It would be lovely to see family and friends and strangers at the launch of my book in The Seamus Heaney Centre @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social on January 29. Free entry but booking is required. Thanks to Stephen Connolly and Clare Bogen for pulling this together www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/plastic-by...

Wrote about books for the Year in Review for Art Review @artreview.bsky.social On corporate publishing, small presses & the many excellent books that were published in this otherwise cursed year 2025 artreview.com/shitty-cakes...

A few dates for the new year. It would be lovely to see some of you at one of these events! 💙🤍 #poetry

Lovely to get a mention in Lucy Mercer’s year in review (despite my book publishing next month). This is a really interesting and expansive article, discussing issues as well as books and publishing. artreview.com/shitty-cakes...

Happy to have three poems in the new issue of @bombmag.bsky.social! Check out the issue and look out for it in print, too! bombmagazine.org/articles/202...

The tour kicks off on Feb 9 in Glasgow! I’ll be reading and in conversation with Colin Herd. A Zoom is also available. 💙🤍 #uniofglasgow #poetry www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/creative-c...

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat. The claim collapsed because it’s a cover. Check my latest… open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

Bless the Muslim man who disarmed a terrorist shooter in Australia!

ICYMI, you can still watch back this powerful panel on class x masculinity in contemporary poetry
