Kate Baer

Thrilled to have one of my favorite poems from And Yet in the @NewYorker this week!

thinking again about this astonishing Mary Ruefle erasure of Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening"

morning reading @KateJBaer 💖📖

I'm also going on tour which is the best part. Come see me! We'll have a blast. More info and tickets here: katebaer.com/tour

You can pre-order How About Now here or where books are sold: katebaer.com

Not sure who's still over here, but I have a new book of poetry out 11/4 that I'm psyched about. It probably won't help the fall of mankind, but pre-ordering your fav authors' books WILL help the fall of publishing and help preserve non-AI art. Doesn't have to be my book!

Anne Sexton ~ Just once I knew what life was for.

(via poetryisnotaluxury IG)

As someone forever in awe of what our minds do with language—and what language, in turn, does with our minds—of how thought emerges through linguistic intentionality, I find it increasingly difficult to make sense of how easily we have chosen to outsource this part of ourselves.

From Jessie Epstein’s new Chapbook, Francesca Dons Beatrice’s Cloak (A Lovergirl’s Guide through Dante’s Inferno)

Day 8 of National Poetry Month is Issue 3 of POSTCARD, in which I am super excited to have a new poem! Thanks to David Wojciechowski for including me and for curating this gorgeous and wonderfully shareable journal! ♥️

Lord, I confess I want the clarity of catastrophe but not the catastrophe. Like everyone else, I want a storm I can dance in. I want an excuse to change my life. - Franny Choi, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On
