I really like this post but it bums me out that I didn’t want to say so b/c I didn’t want to be griped at. So I’ll say this: it’s good to play with the text. Hold some tension. Let it be rough around the edges. Even if you end up saying never mind, you get a deeper understanding

@StevenEKnepper The band, I assume. A lot of people don’t know you were their bassist in the 90s

Truly, I'm incredibly proud to see my work in @TheHudsonReview in which I first encountered some of the poets I most admire. Here's one of the two poems: FEAST OF THE FIRST FRUITS

Tried to jokingly call my wife “woman” by text and it autocorrected to Wiman. I like that my phone thinks of me that way

@PolytropicSage It just came from my 5yo and it was even better than I could have hoped. “Dad, why does it take you so long to get my bath to the proper temperature”

@PolytropicSage Definitely using this. It won’t be long til I need it, I’m sure

Sometimes my daughter says mean things to me and the only way I can process them is to type them out and read them in Werner Herzog’s voice.
Case in point: “Daddy, please do not sing this to me. I would like you to close your mouth.”

@John_Barach Some of the most brilliant people I know get a kick out of pratchett, so I was pretty bummed when I didn’t care for it at all

Tell me the truth about Terry Pratchett. I see many people who absolutely love his books. But ... is it the sort of humor that I would get very tired of very fast? What would be the best book to start with (though I tend to read authors chronologically)?

I did a touchdown celebration when I saw Searcy. Had never thought of his great work as a descendant of Frost but I love that idea. My wife doesn’t especially love poetry but she’s sent me searcy’s stuff like, Isn’t this great?!

Robert Frost’s poetry took a bit longer to make its full impact on American poetry, but I think we can now see its influence on a bunch of fine poets: Richard Wilbur Richard Wakefield Robert Crawford Timothy Steele Rhina Espaillat Stephen Scaer David Middleton Stephen Searcy

A fun thing about parenting my younger kids is they haven’t seen all the shows. I just gave my 8yo the Ted lasso goldfish speech and she thinks I’m an inspirational genius. I’m taking the W

Pretty disappointing to find out halfway through the first episode that The Puzzle Lady isn’t good at puzzles
