I love this pine cone resting on Guy Davenport’s desk

Speaking of readings, I’ll be in New York soon reading there (for the first time!) with some truly remarkable poets and sonic collaboration—

How much it means to be able to say that my first collection of poetry, "You're Called By The Same Sound," will be published in August by @thirdhandbooks.bsky.social. It's been a long road to this future, and I wouldn't have any other way—I believe in the work of small presses, now and forever.

I was revisiting @hanvanderhart.bsky.social’s “What Pecan Light” today and re-encountered this, on the back of the kindest note tucked into its pages, an uncanny talisman for when I needed to be reminded of it most 🤍

I am so, so excited (kinda can’t believe it really!) to be part of this epic dream sequence of a line-up for this off-site reading! #MLA25
