Folks seemed to enjoy my offering for Top T***T Tuesday over there on the other place so thought I would share it here as well. Many thanks to @matthewmcsmith.bsky.social and @vikkicwrites.bsky.social.

Just in case tomorrow really is the day the other shoe finally drops, here is one of my Rapture-trauma poems. "Angel Triptych" appeared in @psalteryandlyre.bsky.social almost exactly two years ago.

Facebook was kind enough to remind me that 8 years ago today I had my first poem published in @doorisajarmag.bsky.social after a decades-long hiatus from writing. I will always be incredibly grateful for that first acceptance after all that time.

When it rains, it pours. I have a poem in the new issue of Underbelly Press. Thank you Lucy, and the rest of the team, for including it in your beautiful journal.

Seeing it close up really didn't help...

Only a handful of m@g@ counter-protesters here today. Vastly outnumbered. Any idea what the point of the baby seal sign is? Seems creepy.

One year ago today, my chapbook, We’ll Miss the Stars in the Morning, was published. It's a book about yearning and complicated grace. If you've read it or shared it, thank you.❤️ If you missed this when it came out you can find out more here: bottlecap.press/products/stars

As someone who has worshiped #Tarkovsky since I first found out about about him, I don't make this claim lightly: I think #MythOfMan might be the greatest film ever made.

It seems my neighborhood is in for a damp and gloomy weekend so I thought I would kick it off by sharing my rain poem that just came out in the new issue of @theshorepoetry.bsky.social. It's called "A pedagogy for the rain," and I hope you enjoy it.

I don't often write love poems but, for Valentine's day, here's one that appeared in Pandemic Love & Other Affinities – The Anthology from IceFloe Press back in 2022.

For my first-ever #SmallPoemSunday contribution, here is "The Finding of Names," published by the now-defunct Kissing Dynamite in early 2020. I wrote this while my family was learning what it means to care for someone with age-related dementia.

There's no feeling like holding your new book for the first time. Especially on a #caturday. Zooey doesn't seem very impressed.
