That dark square was a picture of Jennifer. I don't know why it did that. Jenn would laugh at that.
Here she is!

I'm heartbroken that poet Jennifer Martelli has died. Her poem "Teeth" appeared in Issue 21 of @tahomareview.bsky.social - one of my first issues as editor. I fell in love with her poems and was lucky to become her friend. She was funny, brilliant, deeply generous, & kind. She will be very missed 🐈⬛💔

We return to our poetic obsessions again and again, and often we burrow inside them. This generative workshop will encourage participants to wander, take up space, and experiment.

There was a time I tried to read everything she wrote which is impossible she was so prolific. I'm glad I once wrote to her to tell her what her work means to me. Fanny Howe R.I.P.

Tiger Bark Press will be publishing my translation of Tania Langlais' Pendant que Perceval tombait, a book-length poem about Virginia Woolf's last day. I'm excited to share this spare, strange, and beautiful book that reads like a riddle. Pub date Feb 2026🌊🐎

I have five little translations in The Bear Review. They are excerpted from the book-length poem _Pendant que Perceval tombait_ by Tania Langlais. The book takes place during Virginia Woolf's last day. Announcement about that translation coming soon!🥂💖

Come say hello, friends. Even if we've never met. Like Prévert "I speak familiarly to everyone I love
Even if I've seen them only once
I speak familiarly to all who are in love"
It's my first AWP panel, my first time in L.A. (except for that time I was a nanny but it doesn't count)

I know how rare it is to return to the same press and I do not take it for granted.
I was so excited I signed the contract at work🖊💖

My poem "Feral" is up on @versedaily.bsky.social today. Thank you to @jpdancingbear.bsky.social who also loves animals.
As I typed this post I found myself longing for a photo of the cat who was my childhood companion.
