Kim Hyesoon has a new book, which has the beautiful title Synchronized Sea Anemone, and it is funny and strange and makes me see again the shifting limits of our (more than human) bodies and how that shapes the form of our living. I got to translate the title poem for the Korean publication. 🪼🩵🪸

Such nice company to be in, so unexpected but delightful to discover any connection to almonds in my poems. Thank you, Adam Ray Wagner & the Missouri Review 🌻

A dozen years ago Lyn Hejinian did a reading at Harvard, and we weren’t allowed to have drinks in the fancy room, but Fanny Howe snuck in wine in mason jars. This is a photo of Lyn’s glasses and pencil with Fanny’s wine. I don’t know poetry without these lights.

Cats are basically surveillance cameras, hidden and always watching you, but you can imagine they are doing it with affection.
