October, I’m dragging the dog away from perfect birds lifeless on the pavement. —Molly McCully Brown poets.org/poem/virginia-…

What a gift to share that Lit Hub has featured my @Image_Journal essay on attention, the mystery of poems & silos, and the responsibility of working to attune ourselves to wonder, even and especially when the world is hard— It's one I'm always working at. Keep Looking:

One major reason I like to write poetry is that I can be insane there. In fact, it's better if I'm insane

“…things / that can’t move / learn to see…” October, again, and the world is hard, and drenched in sunshine. Thinking of you today, LG. Still learning from you; still looking for you everywhere.

I really love Jack Gilbert's poems for their quietness. I wish there could be more future Jack Gilbert poems.

@TianaClarkPoet @Image_Journal Thanks so much, T! 💛

@mmccullybrown @Image_Journal Congrats!

I couldn't be any more thrilled and deeply honored to share this news. I'm so excited for the chapter—and all the conversations— ahead at @Image_Journal !

@allisongmyers @Image_Journal Thanks so much for this, Allison! I'm looking forward to what's ahead!

Wonderful! I remember reading @mmccullybrown incredible essay “Bent Body, Lamb” in @Image_Journal many years ago and it has stuck with me in a way few essays ever have. Looking forward to continued excellence in this new era.

@shemaiahng Thanks so much, Shemaiah! I'm excited for what's ahead.

This is such a marvelous match. @mmccullybrown has a keen perception that will enrich the journal and its community.

It’s the 4 month birthday of my collection ATTACHMENTS! Making eye contact, starting to laugh! Thx to everyone who’s read, reviewed, chatted on podcasts, and particularly @huahsu who extended the kind of thoughtfulness a writer dreams of in @NewYorker newyorker.com/books/under-re…

I wrote another book ✨It’s about climate grief, the failures of language during our age of climate catastrophe, and the art of memorial. Part of @transitbooks UNDELIVERED LECTURE SERIES, it’s out in Feb 2025. Preorder it pls? bookshop.org/p/books/immemo…

@lucyalford This anthology is full of stunners that fit the bill. And a lot of @edgarjameskunz 's poems treat work and labor really beautifully: kentuckypress.com/9780813182438/…

Wondering what it’s like to publish a collection with your bestie? Peep the link below for our interview with poets Susannah Nevison & Molly McCully Brown to see how they published In The Field Between Us. telltellpoetry.com/poets-susannah…

If you are in a writing program and you're starting classes this week please remember you are all in it for a shared purpose and the clearest line of communication is perceived love. Assume the best of intentions amongst your peers.

Plz start the weekend right by reading this excerpt from ATTACHMENTS in @esquire many people are saying I'm the Gay Talese of dads on the internet esquire.com/lifestyle/a604…

Hey #OAH24! The Outstanding Dissertation in Disability History prize is now open for submissions! Visit go.illinois.edu/DisabilityHist… for submission guidelines. #DisabilityStudies #DisabilityTwitter #DisabilityHistory #dishist cc: @The_OAH @DisabilityHistr

We write today with extraordinary good news: since our Feb 8 announcement, we've seen an overwhelming show of support. We heard from friends we knew about, but also from friends we didn’t know we had. As a result, we’re not suspending operations after all. Read more on our site.

Hey ATTACHMENTS got a starred review from the good people at @KirkusReviews and now that review is up! Very grateful for this one! kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/l…

My essay in @TIMEIdeas talks about how my OCD first got tangled up in America's gun violence problem in the 80s, and why neither the OCD nor our nation's obsession with guns has relented in the decades since. One way or another, we're in this together. time.com/6696791/ocd-am…

I am so, so excited for these essays to reach the world!
