Delighted and delighted listening to the brilliant Olivia Cronk on WZRD especially her particular conception of the poetry novel: the interesting things you can do in poetry, but with the novel’s provision of “glass after glass of water. My favorite page of Gwenda, Rodney so far.

AWP last year with Sara. We recently discovered we’re arriving at this upcoming one on the same flight despite starting in different cities.

If you happen to be on the fence about adopting two sibling kittens, my advice is do it.

School starts tomorrow. This is me a year ago super excited to teach in person for the first time in 2.5 years. AY 22-23 turned out to be heartbreaking—signs of severe administrative malpractice and neglect at every turn. Currently working without a contract after 200+ days of negotiations.

This week only, you can get the ebook of Metabolics for 75% off (!!!) from the distributor. NGL, I’ve been thrilled to see it in a couple of Sealey Challenge stacks. (Paper copies at places including Powells, Bookshop, Annie Bloom’s, Bishop & Wilde)
