Join us for a launch of John Bonanni's chapbook, a rotary phone that dings when you move it, which looks to ACT UP history as an exploration of elegy and hope in times of political neglect and chaos. Using archival materials, poems assert queerness within times of active erasure.

Celebrate Pride with poetry here on the Cape. If you know of a local (Cape Cod) LGBTQ+ poet or an ally, feel free to send this their way.

Poetry is the language of intensity. Because we are going to die, an expression of intensity is justified.

How to make a lit mag? Think smaller. These things were never meant to have annual subscriptions and board members and bylaws. They were meant to be hustled out of backpacks at readings and conspirationally spread by word of mouth in bars and found on flyers on poles

Every writer should work (or volunteer) for a lit mag once. Experience all of its glorious and subjective messiness! Become a part of "a machine" you once fed your "data"! Learn the beautiful intricacies of our literary landscape! And read so much great stuff by fellow writers!

@parella_anthony @AlexGDimakis This. And yes, "stolen" is the correct verb here. Intellectual property can be stolen. There are laws against it. They got away with it because they're rich.

Just realized it’s been ten years since I was hired to help launch and edit @lithub.

For the interview(s) I had to borrow money for new shoes and a train ticket, and hotwire my brother’s old Subaru to get to the train station (couldn’t afford a new starter).

poetry is all about the big subjects: love, loss, god, ass, that one tree, lunch, describing things as they are, dismantling the world as is, being a hater, the sound of joy, the abyss of grief, hanging out, moonlight, and bagel
