This is, technically, my second time saying this but I am still just as ecstatic (terrified) delighted as my first book to announce my second full-length, THE BOOK OF ALICE, was chosen for publication by @ScribnerBooks as part of their poetry open call #Scribner300

I'm grateful (and a little bashful) but I'm so glad all that hard work, those long hours trying to carry myself through emptiness, that all that effort came to something. Thank you for your continued support, and please continue to support THE BOOK OF ALICE—debuting January 20th!

Thank you to my editor, Emily Polson, for seeing the vision, to Mark Galarrita, Ellie Crowley, and the Scribner team—this wouldn't be possible without your attention and care. Thank you to all of you who have given me so much courage, love, and support over these last few years!

And while you're browsing the phenomenal 8th issue, check out my interviews with the brilliant @MonicaYoun and Anastacia Renee. I am lucky to be a part of these interviews--to be surrounded by such incredible voices.

Thank you for making life worth living, for loving on me these last three decades. Fair warning though, I'm gonna need at least three decades more from you, minimum. But I promise to love you back all the same.

I am always fashionably late to my own party but still grateful one of my weird little recipe poems, "Southern Fried Catfish, or How to Disguise a Carolinian in New York" is one of the Best of the Net.
