Each and every one, in fact. Just to be clear ❤️❤️

A really great and very welcome evening of readings with poets in @SoFloPoJo #35 last night. Respect so many of the words shared and the writers writing them.

FRIDAY NOV 8TH AT 7:30 PM Eastern us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Reading some stuff, including my piece “A Game of Telephone Is All I’m After Here, Honest” in the new issue of @SoFloPoJo tomorrow. A company of creative folks is a good company to keep this week.

Contributor feature! 🍖🥩🍖🥩 Paul Cunningham (@p_cunning) from “BRILLO” Read the poem in ballast issue 2.4 ballastjournal.com/paul-cunningham

@TrampolinePoet1 @bodylit These are dope!

Grateful to @bodylit for taking two of my poems. bodyliterature.com/2024/11/07/jus…

A difficult & dark day. World-changing for all, likely world-ending for some. Dropping my kids off at school, I urged them, simply & impossibly, to feel their despair but not to give in to it. Holding space for you today; if no one’s told you they love you today, I love you.

I voted. You should too.

Submit to the Fall 2025 Issue of The Greensboro Review! Our reading period is open now until January 1st!

Chicago folks! 📢

My latest underworld ramblings: many thanks to @SoFloPoJo for including it in their #35, and a real treat to appear alongside so many folks, including some I’ve had the privilege to know via @ballastjournal like @GJMartini, @fklein907 and Candice M Kelsey
