Poetry keeps me from going completely insane.

If you write poetry we disagree with, you will be shot in the face three times by federal agents and framed for murder by the President. Anyway, I’m a free speech absolutist, don’t tread on me.

“Fuck generative AI” means exactly that. It doesn’t mean fuck it…but it’s cool if you use it for (insert thing here). It’s not about you or me; it’s about us. Writing. Painting. Music. Book covers. All of it. We stick together.

Writing is a kind of revenge against circumstance too: bad luck, loss, pain. If you make something out of it, then you've no longer been bested by these events.

A poem about a cat. The child who wrote it deserves an A++++

I'm glad the villain of the new Toy Story is a child's tablet. I hope the film conveys how screens eat up a child's hobbies, interests, literacy, ability to function socially. I hope it provokes millions of parents to think twice before making the iPad a babysitter.

Charles Dickens' opening paragraph for 'A Tale of Two Cities' (in which he describes the state of affairs in the year 1775 A.D.) may somehow feel oddly familiar.

BREAKING: Images coming in from No Kings Day in Gainesville, FL, where thousands have gathered to voice opposition to the Trump administration.

The agony in the syntax, and the violence of the terminal end stops. Don’t mess with Anne Carson.

[Stone Circle Review @stonecirclerev]

“All water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was. Writers are like that: remembering where we were, that valley we ran through, what the banks were like, the light that was there and the route back to our original place.”

-- Toni Morrison

I wrote a poem about writing...

[anna @moonbeeaam]

This is a bit in Montaigne where he tries to capture the variety of human existence in one question, the result being probably the longest sentence I've ever read in a philosophy book
