It's really an honor to win the favorite award for an issue of Modern Haiku. There's so much great work by so many poets in every issue, and I respect that community so much.

In this week's episode of The Poetry Space_ with @katiedozier.bsky.social, two of my favorite poets go head to head in another date nite duel: Stephen Dunn vs. Kay Ryan. Three rounds. Three random poems. Lots of funny outfits.

2/ Hulme wanted poetry be “hard and dry,” free of romantic fluff. His influence on Ezra Pound, Amy Lowell, and others cemented modernist verse, turning words into crisp, photographic images.

T.E. Hulme, poet and visionary, founded the Imagist movement in early 1900s London, crafting a sharp, vivid style that reshaped modern poetry. His life, though, was cut tragically short. 1/

Imagism was a relatively brief trend in poetry, and maybe that was because it taught such singularly valuable lesson: even in poetry, imagery is king. 1/🧵

Day 16. I'd never heard of ghost craters—craters filled in with lava that make a kind of geological palimpsest—until @katiedozier.bsky.social's haiku yesterday. That was fun to play with.

Day 14 was a busy one, so this haibun is ready with a few minutes to spare. @katiedozier.bsky.social's haiku yesterday had a great cut:
every note

Day 12. This is the earliest I've started writing, but it took the longest to finish. I had a plan going in, but I couldn't make it work, so had to scrap it and go in a different direction.
@katiedozier.bsky.social's haiku was this:
reading
a poem out loud
jump start!

Day 10 of the crown … work and life have been very tiring this week, but it feels good to sneak in a poem every other day. Should try this writing thing more often.

Day 2 of our new National Poetry Month haibun crown. This was @katiedozier.bsky.social's ku to kick it off:
erasure poem
I black out
old windows
So I use those words within my haibun. I didn't want to start out a fun project on a downer, but I'm in a mood, so it's true to the moment.

The first poem we we talked on this week's episode of The Poetry Space_ was "The Road Not Taken"—one of the most iconic and misunderstood poems in English. It's actually a joke! But such a rich joke, which makes all the difference.
