So, thanks to ⁦@blackboughpoems⁩ there are now two non-smiley poet pics of me on the planet, taken three decades apart. Only lesson I can pass on: 30 years of hope and joy can flat wear out a man’s looks! 😂

Been gone awhile dealing with some difficult stuff, but I can’t think of a better way to come back than with some new DEAD serious stuff in @SomeWordsLit.

@aliner I’m a sucker for the Hopkins sprung meter, too. Reminds me of church!

Good morning gonzoids. Today on the 'ZOID we have two poems by the incomparable Alina Stefanescu (@aliner). They need to be read. Give "Thessala Philtra" and "Study with Nude Statue and Dude" some love!

May’s been quiet but I have a Normal story up at @MaudlinHouse today. It’s an isekai about assumptions, consequences, and the lesson that the only thing worse than an otaku is a British otaku. This is the most important story of my life, please read.

@HAWKEYE_mag @jackbedell "The breeze was gentle enough to carry a mother’s voice, but didn’t." Such a yearning, mournful image.

[Jack Bedell @jackbedell]

@PDMwriter @HAWKEYE_mag Thank you!

[Jack Bedell @jackbedell]

Very grateful to have a couple of micros up at @HAWKEYE_mag today! 👇🏻

[Hawkeye @HAWKEYE_mag]

In #75, it’s a 2 for 1 deal. In “Post-Katrina Ghost Story” we return to familiar ground, where nothing remains the same. In “Turns Out Things Don’t Always Have to Get Worse (For Her)” we get lucky. Read “Two P.I. Micros” by @jackbedell. Cheers, Jack! 🍸🍸

[Justin Carter @juscarts]

Resharing these poems from yesterday. They’re about a lot of stuff, including fatherhood, & all three deal can also be read as poems about poetry in that they actively address the way my mind wanders about while writing a poem.

[X-R-A-Y @xraylitmag]

we have a short, dark, bleak, funny, emotionally dense story by Kaylee Howard !

"I am watching men kill pedophiles in Walmart online while my mother cooks dinner."
