Just signed the contract for my first scholarly monograph with @cupress.bsky.social. The title is Making Places: Rural Infrastructure, Media, and D.I.Y Poetic Community. I'm super excited!!!

probably everyone who follows me on here already knows but, in case not: I had a book come out this year called The Prelude! From Action Books! if you like messy maximalist poems that are obsessed with chickens, excrement, and the dirty underbelly of the pastoral tradition, you should check it out!
