Henceforward look for me at silliman.bsky.social @silliman.bsky.social #silliman.bsky.social

Someone get CA Conrad on the phone.

@sandrapoetry Jack Spicers Poems for the Sporting News in Book of Magazine Verse (1964) is a classic. Who sez baseball poetry isn't a thing? I thought that attitude went out with the Polo Grounds and Shibe Park.

I have recieved much love since I won Baseball Poetry Book of the Year Award, but the negative comments stuck with me from folks saying “baseball poetry” is not a category or that my book was the only one published in the category all year. I’ve heard it’s “hilarious.” Hurtful.

@vjoshuaadams I find that a lot of business majors are EXACTLY the same kids who were English or Anthro majors when I was a student. The major's a mick (as we used to say) and they use their electives to study what they really want. Plus, extra bonus, no father ever questioned a biz major.

@vernon_w_cisney Love, obviously Poetry, music, baseball A sunny afternoon Comfy shoes The list goes on & on

@ronsilliman - Sustaining Air - the long-awaited biography of poet Larry Eigner - allenginsberg.org/2023/09/larry-…

I can no longer access FB from my tablet as it requires me to sign in via Google Play & G has declared that I do not exist. HELP!

@TimWillcutts @aliner None. I violated guidelines is all they say.

@ronsilliman @aliner No explanation given?

I have been banned from Google, Gmail, Blogspot yet again. I am simply told that my blogs have been removed, including Silliman's blog which has received 5 MILLION + views since 2002. IF you can help, please do.

@stevesilberman @FoxNews Somehow I doubt that Pete wants a handjob from Bobert. Or that anyone does, for that matter.

If Pete Buttigieg had been caught on video being thrown out of a theater full of kids for giving a hand job to a boyfriend while vaping, and flashed the manager the finger while yelling "Do you know who I am?," @FoxNews could just stop reporting new news for the next 6 months.

If X starts to charge, I am gone kiddos

I recommend that my followers switch to my account on FB. Not that Zuck is any saint, but if you follow my account (my friends list is maxxed out with many thousands few followers here at ex-twitter), you can see what I say when I say it.

I’d rather a great Senator in a hoodie than an evil one in a suit. Who agrees? 🖐️

A huge collection from one of the global masters

Drew reading Rae Armantrout & Oprah reading Claudia Rankine would make the whole event worthwhile

It was such a joy to read poems in Jack Kerouac Alley on Sunday in celebration of @CityLightsBooks' 70th anniversary as booksellers in the heart of San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood.

@LukeKennard Sartorially speaking, the Orioles, Giants & Brewers have the best caps in baseball. Tho the Phillies' red P on a deep blue cap is pretty close (the rest of their gear is blah except for the Phanatic headbands Harp likes to wear) baseball is fashion

In a world full of Jason Aldeans be a Willie Nelson 👇🎯💯
