Deep thanks to @poetrycurrency.bsky.social for featuring these two poems--which are proof I'm a) still writing about foxes and b) still writing, even though a doctor drilled a hole in my head. 😂🦊🤷♀️
Every mother’s nightgown has a sill and a jamb.
Has a child who touches her face and walks through.
Each nightgown dreams it’s made of glass
or is hungry for a name to hold the wind inside.

Folklore friends, this summer reading is meant for you--Selkie Moon, by @kellyjarviswriter.bsky.social , is a selkie story told freshly and tenderly from the daughter's p.o.v. Its lush island dreamscapes swept me away. And oh, the sentences! Such enchanting sentences!

First: an email from AWP, telling me about how my online panel will work, when I'm not going to AWP next year. Then, as I begin to reply, an email from the NEA, rejecting my fellowship application (which I at least actually did submit). As Hamlet would say, "Indeed, Lord, it followed hard upon." 🙃

About to go visit a poetry class, which turns out to be in a building I haven't been in since 1991, when I went there twice a week, to teach my first-ever college writing course. 👀 When I walk in to the classroom, should I burst into The Circle of Life? (asking for my old-ass self)
