Our wonderful publisher, Dr. Katie Manning, moderated a panel discussion at AWP titled “It’s Personal, Not Strictly Business: Networking for Writers.” Star panelists Abayomi Animashaun, Elizabeth Dark, and Jessica Jacobs shared valuable insights.

Congratulations!
Thanks Last Syllable Lit for publishing an essay that is either about: sleep, intensity, acting, my stroke, my OCD, procedural television, a moment of kindness on social media, or @vincentdonofrio.bsky.social. I hope it’s the latter, but most likely all of the above. lastsyllablelit.com/procedural

Congratulations!
Congratulations!
I'm honored to be included in the gorgeous @lastsyllablelit.bsky.social's latest issue! Many thanks to them for publishing this long poem that took me forever to write as I wrestled with what it means to be the descendent of a long line of white Southerners.

Happy Issue Release Day to @whaleroadreview.bsky.social!! Founded by our professor and publisher @katiemanningpoet.bsky.social 😊
“Tomorrow will bring a different mess,” writes Maria Koors in “The Optimist’s Almanac.” As I’ve prepared this Spring 2025 issue, I’ve been thinking about the messes that continue to pile up, both personal and shared.

So. I cried a lot today.
So then I read this beautiful essay “On Crying” on @lastsyllablelit.bsky.social
I’ve also wondered about the “Weeping Woman” across cultures. I, too, have tried forcing myself to cry in church to no avail, only to cry for myself later on. 🤍
