I was today years old when I learned 811 is the library code for Poetry. Don't know why it took me so long. Thanks to the #NewtonPublicLibrary folks for working late to let grown-ups have some quiet time in your beautiful and welcoming community space.

Which cover design do you like? My full-length #poetry book should publish in the Spring, thanks to @anamcarapress.bsky.social. The art by #CharlesBaughman makes me happy, so it’s non-negotiable; just LMK which layout & fonts you prefer. P&TY! P.S. Pre-order available! See:

This is the 4th consecutive volume of 'Mikrokosmos' to publish my poetry!* Hope to see my fellow logophiles at WSU RSC Saturday afternoon by 4 p.m., where I'll read my piece "Bearable," which also won 2nd place in their annual contest.
* My poems also got rejected from 4 volumes before that. ;-)

🐾 Cuteness overload at @kmuw.bsky.social! 🐾 We were visited by adoptable pups from #WAALrescue w/ their foster parents.

It’s Tomato Tuesday! No, this is not really part of my job. No, these are not the type of tomatoes you will get from Hillside Nursery after making your @kmuw.bsky.social pledge today of any amount (and saying “tomato” … or “toe-MAAH-toe”). Yes, I'm goofy. 📸 by K. Cooper
