What a day. Two poems in the latest splendid edition of Causeway, and then three poems in the equally splendid Autumn issue of Southlight that I was completely unaware had been accepted. I might put them up in due course. Grab copies, they're great publications.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

Parisian dog caravan, coming and going (with crow). Honestly, this felt like a scene from a novel...
two women in garb appropriate for a chilly day talk while walking an assortment of every kind of dog, one pushing a wagon for dogs, with plastic top to protect from the weather with building in background and trees with yellow leaves to both sides while a crow observes them from a pole on the right an assortment of dog butts as the same two people moved past us

Absolutely amazing: they've got so much solar in Australia that they need more people to use more of it, so the gov't has instructed energy retailers to offer *at least three hours of free power* during the middle of the day.

Meanwhile fossil-addled US struggles with an energy-price crisis ...
Energy retailers to be directed to offer free power three hours a day
Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Stoked to have two poems in The Interpreter's House, alongside @moette.bsky.social, @poetbex.bsky.social and many other fine poets.

About...errr... homunculi, and not going quietly into vinegary distinction.

I wrote this a few months ago for a different prompt, but I also like it for this week's #PoemsAbout #Blood @thebrokenspine.co.uk @alanparrywriter.co.uk
Nebulous Make my heart explode all over this bed so my skin and bits of ribs and lungs and blood cover the sheets Then you'll see how nothing was inside me from the start so there was nothing to be lost after all I must be a black hole the way light keeps coming toward me like it can't bear to stay away I miss that spark that lit me up back when I felt like more than stardust floating helplessly through space What is this place where hope can't hang around and there's no air to breathe

Somewhat astonishingly, here it is, a book, a thing in the world... More, including acknowledgements, soon❤️

Returning to keeping a handwritten journal where the messiness of my handwriting and the evidence of writing even if it is scratched out has been a weirdly liberating experience despite how much I've trained myself out of writing and exploring this way--creating as play, as low stakes, as open-ended

Delighted to hear that my poem 'Moeritherium' has received a Best of the Net nomination!

Published by the wonderful @whaleroadreview.bsky.social, it was inspired by this model in the Natural History Museum 💙
Moeritherium After walking beneath blue whale bones and following the loops of mammoth tusks, I linger near an unsuspecting model: the squat, shapely form of a moeritherium. Indirect ancestor of elephants and sea cows, all Eocene curves with soft, painted eyes. The grey egg of her body is dwarfed by stockier relatives, but she seems to float in front of me, goddess of buoyancy, the spirit of the semi-aquatic. I admire her womb-shaped face, her stubby trunk, which is touch-whitened from decades of petting, but resist the urge to reach out. I am content with our closeness, the shared beauty of those without descendants.
