@TyndallOBrandon @BorisDralyuk @NimrodJournal @PaulDryBooks This is so kind, Tyndall! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading! 😊

This was a wonderful interview! I particularly appreciated your thoughts on the artist's "responsibility to an audience." I think it's exactly correct that the energy and vitality of a musical or poetic work is "dependent upon someone to build the world of the song or poem for, someone to enter and enjoy it." As you say, the goal of a poem is, in the deepest sense of the word, to entertain, to "hold up something between" the poet and the reader. A poem can only live when it is intended as a gift, a service, and a communion with and for the reader. Your poems demonstrate that beautifully. Many thanks to you, Nick, and Nimrod for sharing this lovely conversation with all of us.

Immense gratitude to @BorisDralyuk and @NimrodJournal for featuring my conversation with the brilliant Nick Pierce on Nimrod's Substack!! Avail is shipping now from @PaulDryBooks: pauldrybooks.com/products/avail

It was a treat to curate the beautiful poems in this latest issue of @QuarterlyWest with my friend, @bigshakyred. Check it out: quarterlywest.com

@BorisDralyuk @PaulDryBooks What a blurb! What a guy!

If you have an intro from Ange Mlinko, you need no blurb from Boris Dralyuk, but wottthehell wotthehell… Read @erinowhat’s debut from @PaulDryBooks!

A million thanks to Nimrod for publishing this poem and to the BAP blog for reprinting it!!

So pleased to have three poems in this gorgeous issue, edited by dear @BorisDralyuk!!

Avail, my debut poetry collection, coming soon from Paul Dry Books!

Coming out of hibernation to second this! So excited for my dear friend @JLSmithPoet's stunning book!!

Poetry Editor @erinowhat has a stunning new poem up at @wildcourtpoetry !

Can't stop reading @matriches's "The Kimono Is Open Now"--hilarious, blood-curdling: wildcourt.co.uk/two-poems-by-m…

Deeply grateful to Robert Selby @wildcourtpoetry for publishing my wild poem about the inimitable Suzanne Pleshette!

At the center of the Valentine's Day/Ash Wednesday Venn diagram: the dead celebrity crush. ❤️☠️

Fine poem by Ange Mlinko in latest NYRB (Feb.22,2024). It never fails, I have to look up a word or three when reading a Mlinko poem – which is good for me, and for you too no doubt.
