I’m grateful to Terence Winch for choosing “Nocturnal” to appear in Best American Poetry 2025, and to @pshares.bsky.social and Laila Lalami and John Skoyles for first giving a home to the poem. This third photo is an image from the poem. #bestamericanpoetry2025

Today, Otis’s song request en route to school was “Go All the Way to Hell.”

Otis draws a discrepancy between real and not-real clowns. The latter are all fakes because they have to put on make up and costume to be clowns. The former are clearly a nightmare, as they are born in clown face, hair, and feet.

“See this ball, Mama?”
“Yeah, Otis! It’s so cool!”
“Yeah, it’s not a candy.”
“Nope.”
“I know because I tasted it.”

End of the semester sunshine: Student popped in to say that my class prepared him to do better in his others this semester and complimented, "You have me fighting battles on paper, they have me digging foxholes." #metaphor

My kid asked to do his turkey disguise project as a vampire bat so I figured out how to do a vampire bat but then we went to the zoo the next weekend and I learned that vampire bat is an actual kind of bat so my 4 yo schooled me. #turkeydisguiseproject #vampirebat #googlyeyes #tomtheturkey #otislove
