@JGordonBramer With my favorite GRay! <3

My afternoon in the London Tea Room, downtown St. Louis. Complete with the present of backyard honey, tarot cards and my book to be autographed. 😊

Belatedly finished this brilliant book by the amazing @kallen21046 Strange, mythic and disorientating - and also deeply poignant at times. Wild dreamlike storytelling as if from a collective unconscious. I loved it. @CRPress @cwaleicester @EverybodyReview

Always a pleasure to share space in @ratsassreview Rat's Ass Review. The new issue just popped and it is a beauty: ratsassreview.net/?page_id=4242

@kallen21046 won the 2018 Magpie Award with the magnificent poem 'Leather wraps both our shoulders, and I will call you my lungs, my falconer, guidepost'. Cover art by Ben Baldwin, line art by @MelAnastasiou Issue 20, Autumn 2019 #poetrycontest #contestwinner #liminalspace

@JoeyNicoletti @CalandraItal @iambooksboston @POETSorg @RiverRiverBooks @m8ttr @PoetryBookSoc @BordigheraPress @julia_lisella Thrilled for you, my friend! Thanks for letting me have a sneak peek. <3

Throwback Thursday: Award-Winning Poetry by Kelli Allen #tbt #throwbackthursday #booktok #poetry #poetrycontest pulpliterature.com/throwback-thur…

Right here. This is what it's all about. What we put our minds on grows.

“I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.” ― C.G. Jung

Shout out to @kallen21046 of the wonderful Book of Matches journal. Have a gander at her latest collection: Leaving the Skin on the Bear (great title, no?): crpress.org/shop/leaving-t… #writingcommunity #poetry #art #poetrycommunity

This is the most unimpressed shark in the history of sharks.

What an absolute pleasure to be interviewed by the Blue Mountain Review’s Editor in Chief, Clifford Brooks, for this current issue. issuu.com/collectivemedi…

@nucosi @DrinkTraveller I have a slim little beastie just out from C&R. =) crpress.org/shop/leaving-t…

Publishing pals! I have Books of the Month to choose, Book Talk columns to fill and Feminist Bookshop shelves in need of new titles for the next couple months. What should I know about?

@KelliAgodon Hi, Kelli! My newest just came out from C&R Press last week. =) Leaving the Skin on the Bear. crpress.org/shop/leaving-t…

If you have a new POETRY book out (2021/2022) & would be interested in being featured in Two Sylvias' Weekly Muse subscription, reply to this tweet.--Include the title of your book/publisher/release date too. We only have 26 spots each year😭--but I want to keep an ongoing list.

Your Throwback Thursday comes from issue 15 and @kallen21046. If you missed it the first time, check out "Stilettos Can Wait by the Door." In fact, even if you didn't miss it the first time you should check it out again! bit.ly/3qFyOcF
