Today is the pub-date for this book! I’m feeling so much gratitude to @Milkweed_Books for saying yes to the book, and to @MASpeaker for her genius design.

Our winter writing classes are open for enrollment. Take a class with @BarotRick, Mia Ayumi Malhotra, Anna Ghosh, @MoutonWrites, and many others. leftmarginlit.org/winter-2025-cl…

So elated today that this book has won the National Book Award in poetry. And hey, Lena is a graduate of the Rainier Writing Workshop, so the recognition feels many times sweeter. Hurray, Lena!

We've had a lot of multimedia marginalia over the years, but I think this may be our first mixtape. Today, Nida Sophasarun offers a playlist to accompany @BarotRick’s "Nectarine." #poetry #poetrycommunity #litmag 🔗 32poems.com/prose/the-nect…

It's pretty great to be in the packed new issue of AGNI, with a poem about visiting the Donald Judd compound in Marfa, TX...
