Poet, performer, and diarist. Scouring the cosmic terror for glimmers of hope. I only write by hand. You can't get my stuff on am*z*n.

@Lona_Chess Have you thought about joining the @chessdojo ? It's a great community of improvers who discuss and support each other while navigating an organized training program. Whatever your level or pace, there are other people to train with.

This weekend I was invited to read my Portrait of the Galerie @_ArnaudLefebvre for the vernissage of their 40th anniversary show (and @PGW_Galeries weekend) Thanks so much to Arnaud and everyone who came out! And to @AGraceColor + @Lesteresque for the photos!🌹

If you're looking for self-care ideas in the hellscape, try getting high some night and watching a bunch of old Prince concerts from the 80s.

Was watching this old Steve Martin appearance on Charlie Rose & what he said about hippie comedians is very relevant to 2026: They were just yelling NIXON instead of being funny.

@chesscom I'll give you my bishop on g5 for your knight on f6 if you let me double your pawns ;).

The book I wrote at La Ferme Magique for L'Antidote du Lot art festival in the south of France, is now available on my website. Complete with some hay from the farm :). Thanks again to Richard Dailey, Blaise Hanquet, and Axel Dejean for having me!

Considering the recent controversy about a lit mag publishing an AI-generated piece, perhaps more magazines should commission work by authors who write by hand 😏👀

[兔兒神 @chenchenwrites]

the older i get the more clearly i see how much trend-chasing there is in poetry (well, this has always existed, i suspect). i want to encourage poets, especially younger ones, to give up the chase, to write instead according to your own concerns, courages, strange uncouth pulses

@RealEmirHan Is this just rage bait? The looks at the camera were in the script before it was even cast. The Office (US) is remake, and the original was already famous for those looks.
