@authorpopups Who?!

I found out on here there's a poet laureate of this chain. Any guesses?

@sofiaxaguilar I was rejected too back in the day. We write on!✊🏽🌹❤️

after being rejected from literally every mfa program i applied to this year & feeling immense imposter syndrome & sense of failure, i’m excited to say that i’m starting to love writing again. i’m feeling like myself again. i’m literally so so happy :))

Was privileged to read Diosa X's newest, published by Riot of Roses Press. I even wrote a review blurb for it! Thanks Diosa for this opportunity.

@jerichobrown A friend of mine has a literary magazine called “enfleshed.” That’s a good word 💓🙌🏽

@jerichobrown Encarnación.

Some photos from last week's incredibly nourishing "Voices of California, Part III," held at the iconic @TiaChucha. Thanks to @luisjrodriguez, @nervous_ghosts, @authorpopups, @MikethePoeTLA, @traciakemi, @AGuzmanLopez, @PastorBeee, @byginaduran, @thebridgebianca

@JoseHernandezDz Prufrock is always in my mind and made its way into one of my poems - that line specifically 😂

Once in awhile I remember the Elliot line from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock: "I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas." Which poetic lines pop in your head every now and then?

@authorpopups @ThisIsMyBrave It’s always good to see you, Jesse! See you next week 😀

Was at @ThisIsMyBrave today in SAMO w/Coco thanks to free 🎟️ Show ended w/instrumental metal. And @PastorBeee & I bumped into each other there. #ilovemyrandomlife

Cheers to 6 online publilcations going live in one week. Don't think that will happen again for me. lol. Ended up taking a couple of much-needed naps. Long week.

@JoseHernandezDz Si se puede! It simply had not found its home as of yet. Excellent landing, Parachutist 👏🏽🙌🏽🤩

@JoseHernandezDz Dang! Well, I know hermit status will foster some good poems. Sending healing vibes!🙏🏽💓

Turns out I've been walking around with a fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal. Hermit status reload.

@authorpopups @PandoraDemise @FASalinas @Thereverseoran1 Looking forward to it Jesse✊🏽

Gonna be on @PastorBeee 's IG show next Friday! So excited to read something of mine, and most importantly, promote @PandoraDemise & @FASalinas at @Thereverseoran1 on 7/23!

@jasminnemendez I agree wholeheartedly! I made menudo during the cold weather and I could feel that joy as well 🥰

@JoseHernandezDz Cool! My test came out negative yesterday. I took another at a clinic this morning for safe measure.

@PastorBeee I did get some. I also ordered some at the link. thank you, though! how are you doing, still in isolation??

Does anyone have the link to order free at home covid tests? Thanks.

@JoseHernandezDz Such a poet. Glad you’re on the mend. I’m day one in quarantine.

recovering from covid. feeling better. going to retest on Friday or Sat.. was resting & watching a surfing documentary & women's basketball documentary. felt good to think of something other than writing. yet, at the same time, I was like how does this relate to poetry? lol.
