MORE SURE (@Arsenalpulp) honoured by the Barbara Gittings Literature Award, which is one of the Stonewall Book Awards. Thanks to the @ALALibrary + @GLBTRT, myself, everyone in between.
After SEVEN YEARS! I hope to abdicate my seat as Poetry Tyrant of @ex_puritan.
I seek a well-rounded heir; one must defeat me in armed combat to assume the role. (I won the last 6 tournaments, which is how I've kept the job so long. Good luck.)

One year since I finished writing + editing this book (simultaneous tbh). Five months since its arrival. Thanks to my publisher @Arsenalpulp for everything so far.
Second panel: I deserve these reviews, I decided.

"I’m trying to make the poetry I want to see in the world instead." —Michael Chang
The poet on writing poems that break the mold, the importance of nuanced understanding, and how fashion is like writing.

Here's a lovely blurb about @alightupon's debut poetry collection from Kai Cheng Thom @razorfemme who heralds @alightupon as "a master of their craft and a virtuoso talent" and praises how the poems in #MoreSure "balance acute emotion with subtle wit."
In excellent company with Hazel Jane Plante (@Arsenalpulp) and @earthtokb. It's on a list of "Books You Might Have Missed" but you better not have missed me.
