Unexpected & supercool box of merch from TRP! 7 copies of The Cave left from the first readings, and I don't plan on reading in the next couple months. Anybody want one? Send $25 to www.venmo.com/u/Ryan-Vine-1, and I'll send you a signed copy and a bunch of cool merch! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Reading “Hawking” from Stanley Plumly’s Middle Distance ( @wwnorton.com ). My latest episode featured poet David Baker speaking about Plumly’s work. Baker coedited Plumly’s posthumous Collected Poems with Michael Collier.

Good suggestions for litmag editors (which I have been in the past).
Dear editors: We apologize in advance for the unavoidable sass. BUT! We read 4,000 submissions guidelines, and we have a few notes. Y'know, to make the whole thing easier. Way, WAY easier.
