My AWP poetry book pull is seriously obnoxious!

At AWP, none of the books I bought quite compare to this special gift from a friend. A smoothed over tumbler stone from their space. As soon as we parted, I had a moment. Such sweet humans in my life!

Randolph is easily the most SoFried place outside SoFried. I love my MFA peeps

New poetry collection from Ibe Liebenberg from Texas Tech University Press is fantastically beautiful. Accessible yet complex. Short poems that manage to grab and release at the same time.

One of the strangest parts to allowing my mother back into my life is the treasure trove of info about my grandparents. They were so loving. Secretive but loving. I'm grateful. This is my grandpa's lieutenant badge & hat when he was a volunteer firefighter in our town before I was born

Angelo Mao's Abattoir is a great collection of poetry, but not for the squeamish... And I'm not squeamish.

Some 60+ years later Tadeusz Rozewicz's poem still speaks volumes. Practice simple sabotage. Don't let the brain drain from our govt into the hands of capitalists continue

Perhaps our eyes tire & slow so our other senses finally have a chance to breathe. Yet another poem from Frederick Smock

The way this govt abuses it's ppl just to make good on the other side of the punches makes being American feel like the victim in a violently abusive relationship

Greed and the oligarchs won for now. Trump will pretend to save the day if we stroke his ego enough. Not not interested. Luckily the new generation loves to show the powerful who's really in control. Me, I'm too old to fight like that

Preparing pics and other found docs for a photo album scrapbook. My Grandma was a badass!

Erotic poetry writing should focus on personal, specifics. Steer clear of the basic sex moves in the movies

My feature tomorrow will be on public access! How damn cool is that!?

This is my level of humor and I'm not even the slightest bit apologetic

That one time someone gives you a giant box of poetry books an old couple bought each other over the course of their marriage (w/inscriptions in most), only to find this spicy gem filled with ancient sex poems!

My first feature in a year!

One of the best parts of an MFA program is meeting other fabulous writers. My cohort at Randolph is the best
