@ACarreiraR @DukeU Congrats!

@rocketfantastic In a film as literature class in college, we read the book & watched the film—a memorable experience in my studies @UofNO. So I recommend both!

The exhibition "Coalesce" matched visual artists & poets to respond to each other's work. I was lucky to be paired w/Esten Walker. She responded to my poem "Bypass" (1st appeared in @meridianuva) & I responded to "Flying Turtles & Other True Stories." What a joy! @OCNCArts #art

@Read_Instead Please put bay leaves in gumbo, jambalaya, and shrimp etouffée. A little annoyance will be ok.

[Katie Bowler Young @kbywrites]

@EllenJuneWrites Yes, early!

@mgnchols @LaLiterature @jackbedell @EllenJuneWrites Thank you, Megan!

My poem "Broken" in @LaLiterature navigates choices in writing & friendship. Thanks @jackbedell for including it in Issue 39.2. Proud to be alongside @EllenJuneWrites, @mgnchols, Michael Anna De Armas & many other wonderful writers.

I leave my reading chair for two minutes to refill coffee on a Sunday morning and look who takes my seat. Meet JoJo, formally Josephine Ivy.

@lacymjohnson I bring in Meena Alexander’s @worldlittoday lyric essay “What Use Is Poetry?” - “To make a lyric poem I have to enter a dream state. But at the same time, almost by virtue of that disconnect, it becomes a very intense location to reflect on the world.” Based on a talk @Yale.
