The latest issue of Dappled Things has a painting by Emily Pastor that is very striking. I had a slow day at work, so I tried to do what she did with mixed results. You can get a copy of magazine for only $10 that comes with several of her other paintings (and one of my stories).

My top two pieces of advice for running a successful, invigourating bookclub are:
1) never have a question about whether people liked the book. Honestly, who cares if you liked a book? Super uninteresting question that absolutely evolves into discussion of tastes rather than critique of book.

I sent the final manuscript for Call Out Coyote into Wiseblood Books on Sunday night, the twelfth day of Christmas. Except edits from Wiseblood, it looks like this. I can confidently say this is the best, complete collection of poems I’ve ever written. Coming your way in 2026.

So my morning consisted of pulling my toddler’s Hot Wheels car out of his used toilet… and having a poem published at The Clayjar Review.
Honored to be included in this wonderful group of poets. Also, just trying to keep it real.

These little prose series one offs by @bellepointpress.bsky.social are a great way to win over readers. Nice design cue, too, on the inside cover of @americangwyn.bsky.social’s “Parricide Blues.”
I may leave this copy some place public. You’ll be hooked in the first paragraph.

Sometimes I drop by the coffee shop in the town I grew up in and I’ll see the parents of someone I grew up with and then realize it’s not their parents but it’s them and that now I’m old.
