Thanks to all of you that have been sharing your pics/poems from Unrivered - it means a lot for your writing community to come through. I have lots of readings coming up this winter, many of them in the Chicago area, so stay tuned for details and I hope to see you in person!

Home after three weeks of incredible, once in a lifetime travel to the Falklands, South Georgia, and Antarctica. What a gorgeous place the earth is when there are no people to ruin it.

Mountain biked in the Andes of Ushuaia this morning. Spent about the same amount of time falling and pushing the bike as riding. My body is going to be mad later. But it was beautiful.

More stunning work from @janezwart.bsky.social!
It broke my heart to write this poem, and I would give it back if I could reverse my brother's death or my mom's diagnosis. But it doesn't work like that. So I'm trying to open my hands to the joy of having a poem in @thenation.com. Thank you, Kaveh Akbar, et al.
