Tough to match the joy of an author’s copies mail day! So cool to hold months of work in your hand like that! Huge thanks to Jeff and Tobi Alfier at Blue Horse Press for bringing this one into the world. 🥊 (Please check it out at Amazon.com if you can.)

I truly enjoyed @hanvanderhart.bsky.social’s new chapbook from Bottlecap Press, Hawk & Moon. I mean, this transition between poems is godly! 🙌🏻

I can’t even express how grateful I am to have spent the weekend with folks I love at the Tennessee Williams Fest writing with Richard Louth, Reine Bouton, Stacey Balkun, Kurt Opprecht & others from the Writing Marathion. Even got the chance to visit with the fantastic Frank Relle at his gallery!

No matter how many times I’ve been lucky enough to do it, opening a new box of author’s copies is still the coolest thing! Very grateful to Mercer University Press and director Marc Jolley for making this one happen.
