Got a new piece out by Hidden Peak Press. Knoxville is still scruffy.

Got my contributor copy of Untelling today. It’s a beautifully produced volume. It’s full of work by people I admire. My only disappointment is in art’s limited capacity to change circumstance, even as it surgically and transcendently describes it.

Here’s a #poem about war and burning churches and natural disasters for no particular reason. I know it’s hard, but don’t forget to love each other.

Best rejection yet. Huge. In fact, confirms my suspicions that I might know what I’m doing.

Louise Glück wrote that “we look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.” I think that’s mostly true (language, culture, etc.,) but these #books sure made me reconsider what I’d seen. What books have done that for you?

Sometimes you don’t even need to write the poem.

A lot of my students were in early elementary school when this study came out, and most of them don’t know who #carlsagan was or how to spell #kakistocracy … I think reading, and writing, and *doing* things instead of fretting away is going to help them out more than, like, raging online 2/?

A lot of my students have been stressed about nothing in particular this week. But this is a good place to start mitigating some of that. You can also read about things like #mutualaid and #communitysupportedagriculture You can donate money in any amount to #artists and #art organizations 1/?

One of the things that’s wrong with me is that I think readers might want a book of #dnd #pathfinder #ttrpg poems. I’ve been submitting some of them to weird little lit mags (the best kind, btw) and this one is out now in Corvus Review.

Here’s a nicely formatted image (and references) of my ekphrastic poem in @eunoiareview.bsky.social You can also read it online: eunoiareview.wordpress.com/2024/12/28/a...

I think it continues the bird theme from yesterday nicely.

I was talking with a colleague today about how birds in medieval literature will dip themselves in gravy and fly into your mouth, or roast themselves, and tell you about it while flying to you. Birds are great, especially for poetry. Colorful, symbolic, crushable, delicious. No notes.
