“You talk of callings, but a calling should
enlarge the life that it refines,
not grind its spice into some same mustard.”
(Christian Wiman)

@MidgeGoldberg Thanks for this delightful poem, Midge.

@SamObiWon It’s the Kuyperian error: “There is not one square inch...over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!”’ But Kuyper had already founded the Anti-Revolutionary Party and later served as prime minister. Who do we actually believe is the Sovereign?

I’m very pleased my poetry manuscript “Fractured World” was selected as a finalist for the 2025 Orison Chapbook Prize.

Pretty excited about this upcoming issue of @JDVjournal

I've got a new poem online in the latest issue of the Christian Century. Puritans and puppets--what's not to like!
I'm grateful to poetry editor, Jill Baumgaertner, for accepting this one! https://t.co/Cacp9yWPKA

My thanks to Editor Humphrey Astley for publishing my poem “Deserted” in the latest issue of The Crank. The poem may seem surreal, but it was all too real—the homeless man, the elephant slide, the buff old man, and the truly ugly gyroscope sculpture. https://t.co/8x6DGWjied

Sincere thanks to editor David Stephenson for including this homely poem in the latest issue of Pulsebeat Poetry Journal. https://t.co/bhX61c6kb3

@Historycourses @ae_stallings Correction: The US Constitution was written in English AND Latin. “Pro tempore,” “ex post facto,” and “habeas corpus” ain’t English.

[Greg Huteson @GHuteson]

Heartfelt thanks to David Stephenson for publishing this poem in the latest issue of Pulsebeat Poetry Journal! https://t.co/BvoM4epRMn

Here's a poem that alludes to nursery rhymes and "The Walrus and the Carpenter." That is to say, it talks of many things. It appeared in Blue Unicorn's spring issue. (The issue took a while to catch up to me or I with it.) My thanks to editor John Hart.

@StevenEKnepper Thanks, Steven!

@JDVjournal I’m grateful to Danny Fitzpatrick, editor of Joie de Vivre Journal, for posting this poem on the journal’s website.

[Joie de Vivre @JDVjournal]

Distraught, the rock dove starts to pray:
“It’s you who’ve hurled my battered frame
into these churlish depths! It’s hell!

Usurped by currents, tossed about,
then pinioned in this inky trap,
I’m all but partnered with the dead,
...

@jdflynn It’s a travelogue with all the tedium and the occasional heart-pounding excitement of any lengthy journey. The two years changed Dana if not his readers, leading him to become an advocate for the legal rights of sailors.

[Greg Huteson @GHuteson]

@amjuster It's true perhaps of "Jabberwocky" and other nonsense verse, but not of other poems.

[Greg Huteson @GHuteson]

@belzpoems The Lass Battle. Although that's substitution not addition as is The Horse and His Soy. Then, there's Owen Barfield's perhaps impermissible novel, The Silver Strumpet.

[Greg Huteson @GHuteson]

@NorthDakotaJane I’d suggest “pot” for the past tense form following the “get/“got” paradigm.
