Blown away to have a poem in the new issue of @pshares! It’s always been a dream journal of mine, and I’m just thrilled to be in the company of so many folks I admire. Enormous thanks to everyone on staff, and to @LailaLalami for selecting this one! ✨

Whenever I identify Will Arnett’s voiceover work, this is approx how I feel.

Gotta love when a group chat wakes up, commits, and brainstorms titles for the next dozen Twister movies.

Unreal to see Coachella Elegy reviewed in @washingtonpost Book Club newsletter! And my poem “Quake” reprinted alongside it (originally published in @kenyonreview). Many thanks to @RonCharles for the kind words about the book.

Coworkers still asking how the long weekend was, and I still dunno how to tell them I spent it revising my Slipknot x Vanessa Carlton mashup.

The first poem I wrote in Paris last year is the first poem in the new issue of @WestBranchMag. Thanks to the editors for their generosity in giving this poem a home — a poem that’s just as much about Notre Dame as it is about what lasts in our world, in our lives 💗📚💗

And with that, pregnant Kim Gordon rocking a John Starks jersey on Letterman is still the best thing to happen to the Knicks in my lifetime. (They could win a million titles and this will still be number 1)
