Our yearly finance report for Radon is out. It also serves as a public showcase of exactly how much it takes to produce a genre journal.
I remember when I was younger wondering why no one ever made detailed public posts on this topic. And wanting to see some. So now I make one each year

Back in the early days of MySpace and Facebook, I'd write statuses about every thought that popped into my head. Nowadays, I still have plenty of commentary, but I never seem to make posts. Perhaps it's that arguing with people online got old. Or maybe I just save it all for my books.

Proud of this ETTT issue. The poetry community embraced cyberpunk in wonderful and creative ways. There are even some fantasy-witch cyberpunk poems here. It was a great experience guest editing.

The dumbest thing I realized I had wrong my whole life is which window at fast food drive-thrus is which.
Whenever they said "pull up to the second window" I thought that meant the window before the main one, because the food window was considered the first one.
Turns out it's the opposite.

I love editing poetry because it lets you fall in love with each poem as much as the author. Hearing their detailed, nuanced reasoning for each minute decision is fascinating and always inspiring. Writing a poem is like constructing a man-made iceberg you get to climb into and make your home.

Honored to be nominated for my first Best of the Net. This poem functions both as a standalone SFF poem, but also the prologue to my poetry collection (currently on sub to publishers)

I accomplished one of my long-term rock climbing goals: lead climbing to the top of this 60-foot wall for the first time.
Specifically the front-facing part of the wall. It's entirely overhung so I'm leaning slightly upside down the whole time

I never make as many update posts as I should as I always don't want to bother people. Then it builds up and I have to make bullet points.
So, uh, expect some bullet points tomorrow.

It's rare I buy poetry books. I know that's odd, but after writing and editing poems all day I relax with a scifi novel.
Goal is to read 1 poem a day and study it. So far I'm already emotionally wrecked by a Jack Gilbert poem.
I also love that my MFA mentor, Naomi Shihab Nye, is in here too.
