“Frozen Coke splatter, & the disembodied sadness of the one who accidentally dropped it…The rectangle has no interest in telling you a story. Its debauched energies hum like telephone wires after the last caller has been taken off of oxygen.” “Walmart Parking Lot,” Diane Seuss

Next issue is going to be explosive

@tylercdempsey Godspeed, Tyler.

I'm on day 8 of 14 working the Aspen Acres fire in Pueblo, Colorado. Don't have anything witty or interesting to say about literature rn.

Sam Neil had passed away. Such a legend. If you know me, you know Event Horizon and In the Mouth of Madness are two of my favorite movies. So many other great performances, iconic roles, dinosaur memes. A great loss. “Where we’re going, we won’t need eyes to see.”

Good morning, a couple poems on Hobart today. All gratitude to @yunghegelian_ hobartpulp.com/web_features/t…

Bruce Wagner calls The Sound and the Fury "an heretical, alien thing." Nearly a century later, it still is. shop.maudlinhouse.net

Another one for #smallpoemsunday with @TomSnarsky featuring the amazing Arab poet Ali Ahmad Said Esber, aka Adonis. Love the ending of this! #poetry, #poetrycommunity

“Logic is no doubt unshakable, but it can’t withstand a person who wants to live.” From Kafka’s The Trial (as translated by Breon Mitchell)

Another by Carol Ann Duffy, this one from Mean Time (1993)

Emailing contributors with new URLs on the new site. Just finished 2018 emails. We got a ways to go. As writers, we know what it’s like for a mag to go dark with no notice. We will not do that. If you’ve already found your new url, we’ll still email, but let us know of any issues

Thanks to @claudinelitmag for publishing my lyric CNF micro about this picture from Grand Central, and exploding neutrinos, and other stuff! ❤️ Maybe you want to check it out? And just read the whole issue! claudineliterary.com/caseyjograhamw…

@leah_zani Great piece.

I'm proud to have won a SoCal Journalism Award for my writing in Noema Magazine! ✨🌟✨

24/ Third place: Non-Political Commentary for “The Sex Lives Of Common Vegetables” by @leah_zani noemamag.com/the-sex-lives-… 🧵

I love Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Carl Phillips, talking about Madonna’s soft power: “…it awakened a country that had all but fallen asleep.”
