I'm reading long poems these days. just finished Paradise Lost and now I'm on WCW's "Paterson." It would be cool to read an epic I've never heard of, something new, ancient, or in -between. Have any recommendations for me? Thanks!

Thanks to @Poetry_Daily for featuring my poem “Friday,” and DEAL, today. Link below. 💜 @CopperCanyonPrs poems.com/poem/friday/

Very thoughtful thread on @BearReview's 10th anniv issue by @jessemdelong. Honored that he thought through @NikkiUmmel's interview of me!

@jessemdelong Thanks for such a thoughtful engagement with the issue! We strive to showcase the many poetries in practice in the U.S. and elsewhere, and we love that you pick up on that here. 🖤
