Sorry, just got very lost in thought imagining Brett Goldstein saying "NAWP" in-character as Roy Kent.

NAWP's co-founders are both K-12 teachers. What are your favorite poems about teaching and learning?

NAWP 2026 plans are firming up, which is to say NAWP is currently staring at a maple tree.

Saw someone mention leaving for a two-week residency and had to do advanced theoretical math to try and figure out what "leave for two weeks" means.

Good news/bad news: We tried rescheduling the event with @alinaetc.bsky.social, @majda.bsky.social, and Julia Kolchinsky for June. That proved impossible, which is of course The NAWP Way. So, we'll be back with this event in SEPTEMBER, after we're all summer-rested and 2025-tested. See you then!

YES! And this Naomi Shihab Nye that feels hand in hand (no pun intended but hey it's NAWP so maybe?) with Limón's to me.

Life is weird—share good art.

What's a favorite recent publication or yours or someone else's?

Both NAWP co-founders got slush formed. Or form slushed. Whatever, they were form-rejected from the open reading slush pile

We here at NAWP HQ sure hate Nazis but love everyone who's trying hard to be a good & decent person. So, let's spread some love.

Who are your favorite writers that everyone should be reading? If you have a linkable piece handy, include it!

Shout 'em out & let 'em know!

NAWP!

NAWP! We have a full schedule for the winter and spring this year. We hope you will join us. There are some amazing readings...

Happy NAWP year, everyone! We, uh, we gotta work on optimizing our online search results for "NAWP," folks.

A very Merry Rejection to all who have celebrated with us this year. Our final rejection is by @willmusgrove.bsky.social who came up with the idea for a rejection advent calendar. Happy Holidays everyone.
