This is happening next week at Wabash College! Hopefully it's the first of many: Hoosier poets reading in triplicate on campus. Free and open to all!

I'm so proud of Lafayette and West Lafayette, where the #NoKings crowds were so huge that hundreds were turned back from crossing the Myers Pedestrian Bridge.

And big love to the "Hoosier Hogs Stand with Portland Frogs" guy. Yes to this. All of this. All the goddamn time.

We're back from Portland, but here are some behind-the-scenes pics from @affisher.bsky.social's interview with Emmy-winning TV host, Helen Raptis of AM NW fame!

If you're in Indianapolis tonight, come to Dream Palace books to hear me, Katy Didden, and Natalie Solmer read from our books.

I mean you sorta gotta, right? I'm the 5th best-selling author for the state of Oklahoma for the last week of May. I'm more famous than all the OKC Thunder combined.

Oh, this is sweet and hilarious and will never happen again: Annie and I had the #2 and #5 best-selling books in Oklahoma last week, based on four bookstores in the state.

I guess that reading in Tulsa was worth it! Thanks @bdralyuk.bsky.social.

Friends! @affisher.bsky.social's translation of Pioneer Summer, a runaway hit, TikTok sensation, and cause of additional LGBTQ censorship in Russia, publishes tomorrow.

Buying a copy supports the book's co-authors, one Russian and one Ukrainian, as they see their work finally appears in English!

Peter Moore, the director of Purdue's PrintBay, is doing some exceptionally cool stuff with his students. Here we are last March, making limited edition matchbook broadsides of my poem, "Odes to Asklepios."

Check out those killer cover designs--all from Pete's students!

I'm grateful to Jesse Nathan for chatting with me over at @mcsweeneys.net. I love these "Short Conversations with Poets."

Put your bodies in the street and tell these assholes what you think of them. @50501movement.bsky.social

I'm reading at the wonderful Second Flight Books in Lafayette, Indiana tomorrow. Looking forward to hearing Bess Cooley's work too!

What a pleasure it was to read at Allegheny College this week alongside my old friend, Jesse Nathan. Christopher Bakken is a host extraordinaire who has cultivated a curious and talented group of student poets. We loved visiting his Whitman class.

I'm reading at Wabash College on Wednesday, ya'll. Free pizza, free poetry, and books (not free, but cheap).

Central Ohio & Denison Friends! I'll be on campus this time next week for Arts ReMix and the Beck Series. With Katie Berta, Scott Hylbert, Ali Stine, and Margot Singer. We'll read from our work and discuss careers in the arts.

Please consider a swinging by Barney Davis to attend!

I rarely post photos from readings, but this one was so rejuvenating that I can't help myself. Here's Katie Hartsock and I at Literati Bookstore on Wednesday. And the two of us joining Linda Gregerson on a magically snowy Ann Arbor street shortly thereafter.

Thanks to all ya'll who came out!
