@steveXisXok Well done, Steve C!

@SKgunning Weird plants are the best.

this is @RealBenWarner 's fault. Got me started w the tromboncinos and fireball pumpkins! Let me know if you want some weird seeds.

omg I have ordered so many types of pumpkin seed and gourd seed, I am obsessed and don't have the room. Squash tunnels, here I come

@robroensch This is great! But I only read big-town-small-city stories.

Woah! That’s cool. I’m excited to read this.

@SKgunning Excellent!

@RealBenWarner so do I!!!! ☺️ PS your kids' tromboncino squash and fireball pumpkins did excellently in my garden this year!

@robroensch @BellePointPress Great review!

I'm grateful to share here this wonderful Goodreads review of my novel In the Morning, the City is the Prairie by the essential Oklahoma fiction writer, Rilla Askew. Thank you to everyone who left a review or rating of the novel anywhere. @BellePointPress goodreads.com/book/show/1995…

@SKgunning I'm down!

@RealBenWarner an upcoming Hons. ENGL417 for you?

Nice to be transported, every now and then: worldliteraturetoday.org/2024/march/okl…

@steveXisXok Go, Steve!

@SKgunning @mjallen176 The best luffa is an aged-luffa, I think is what people say. Finish that hot sauce! I'll refill the bottle.

@RealBenWarner @mjallen176 Ben! If I counted on my fingers how many times I have meant to bring your luffa squash & forgot, I wouldn't have any more fingers 🫥 they may actually be fully dried out by the time you see them 😄 PS I loved the pineapple hot sauce you left me!! It's half gone

I need to find my package of an 1/8 of an oz of habanero powder, lovingly packaged in foil and plastic ziplock by my dad

@SKgunning @mjallen176 Awesome.

Found it and I can smell the heat from the bag. Now to make his award-winning Hot Chocolates for @mjallen176’s fete tomorrow

@TigNotaro @colbertlateshow Tig, what's the recipe??

Happy Thanksgiving! Did you catch Tig on @colbertlateshow? She's got a new product for Stephen to try! What should she name it?

@robroensch @BellePointPress !!!

Today is publication day! In the Morning, The City is the Prairie officially exists. Thank you @BellePointPress for everything! bookshop.org/p/books/in-the…

@robroensch @BellePointPress I'm not sure hiding it in the leaves for armadillos to find is the best way to get the word out. But maybe it is.

I have a novel about OKC and, I guess, the meaning of life coming out in November from ⁦@BellePointPress⁩! If anyone out there has any bright ideas for how I can help get word out, I would be grateful. (Here’s an armadillo rooting around in the leaves in OKC last December.)

@robroensch @BellePointPress Great cover. Endless words/letters erasing themselves and coming into focus. Feels right for a prose poet like Mr. Roensch.

Big day. Here's the cover of my new novel, In the Morning, the City is the Prairie, coming in November from @BellePointPress . The cover features a beautiful original piece of typewriter art by Chad Reynolds typewriterart.com. bellepointpress.com/products/in-th…

@stevealmondjoy Way to go, Steve!

@steveXisXok @MoonParkReview @Will_Musgrove Ha, yes.

@Joey_Hedger @MalarkeyBooks Thanks, Joey!

@thedwmckinney @hexliterary Yes, really! It's haunting and inventive, and teaches well, in part, because of the line-break structure. Each piece is its own discussion.

@RealBenWarner @hexliterary Really?! That's amazing and thank you!

Cool to see my little scary "The Shack" @hexliterary on the longlist. Congrats to all the writers!! And as a former assoc ed for the series, a million thank yous to the editors and readers because reading for the Top 50 is an enormous task that requires serious dedication. 💜
