That's a wrap on Awakeners Season 1! This episode is bittersweet – Tiana Clark's mentor passed away last year, but his fingerprints are all over her new collection. Listen to the end to hear Tiana read and discuss "Broken Sestina Reaching for Black Joy" ❤️ www.awakenerspodcast.com/post/re-awak...

One of my favorite Awakeners episodes yet came out last week: a conversation with Adrian Matejka, poet & EIC of Poetry Magazine, and his former student @austinaraujo.bsky.social, whose debut book is out in February. Listen wherever you get your podcasts. 🧡 www.awakenerspodcast.com/post/adrian-...

A very special Awakeners episode this week featuring nonfiction writer Abi Newhouse & Professor Kyoko Mori, who advised both Abi's and my MFA theses. (Also mentioned: Terry Tempest Williams, Mormon pioneers playing dead & some wild advice Kyoko got from Raymond Carver.) lithub.com/kyoko-mori-a...

New episode! I loved this conversation with Rick Barot & Brian Teare about finding mentors in friends, evolving towards a more ethical practice of ekphrasis, and helping each other "re-see" the work of another queer artist. Listen on Apple, Spotify, etc.!

Be sure to check out the new @literaryhub.bsky.social podcast with the amazing @whichistosay.bsky.social: Awakeners, conversations about mentorship in the literary arts (first episode: Leslie Jamison!)

The first part of Lena Crown's "Facebook Marketplace" in today's @poetrydaily.bsky.social!! 😱

So glad we got to publish this clever, arterial, beautifully built poem in the spring Issue 6 of @coupletpoetry.bsky.social 😊

Huge congrats and gratitude to @whichistosay.bsky.social 👏

Late to announcing this on here, but I created a podcast with @literaryhub.bsky.social about mentorship in the literary arts, and the first episode—featuring the indomitable Leslie Jamison and her former student Emmeline Clein—is out on all platforms today! www.awakenerspodcast.com/post/leslie-...

I'm still absolutely thrilled that last week we got to publish "Telo" by @whichistosay.bsky.social at @therumpus.bsky.social. Such a stunning essay. therumpus.net/2023/11/21/t...

Such an amazing @therumpus.bsky.social essay for you all today by @whichistosay.bsky.social. This one grabbed me from the second I started reading it. therumpus.net/2023/11/21/t...

The pub date for Snakeskin is Halloween, but the official launch event (via Zoom) is the next night, the Day of the Dead, November 1st, where I'll be joined by Megan Culhane Galbraith, Selah Saterstrom, Dennis James Sweeney, and @whichistosay.bsky.social (link to register is in my bio)

the other night a friend and i were rewatching Fleabag and he said "guinea pigs ARE just rats" and i agreed and then he said "which ones are the sexy ones? the sexy rats" and i said "squirrels?" and he said "yup, squirrels"

what do you call a post on here? a cloud? in any case today's installment of should-i-stop-agonizing-and-just-adopt-a-cat felt worthy of my first one
