Thanks to @PsalteryLyre for the gift of bringing this poem into the world... it's the very first one I wrote in my Catherine series and it feels special to have found it a home in a journal I've always admired.

Ty @foglifterpress for believing in this poem, which I wrote for years in my head before I ever wrote down a line. & then wrote in one furious sitting. Mary is a queer icon & poetic ancestor & I hope she'll forgive the presumption of "palinode" 💜✨🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ happy pride ya'll

[KT Herr @kt_herr]

I'm safe. Family's safe. House is intact. Street/neighborhood is pretty wrecked & we have no power. V grateful we are able to stay at a hotel with the kiddo tonight. Hope all my Houston loves are OK 💓

"In the dream I have a dog who fakes his own death on YouTube… I start making the talkshow rounds. Of course I try telling them: Ichabod is alive! I just gave him a treat! They all laugh like two hundred laugh tracks turned up at once."

@marthasilano @versedailypoems @foglifterpress Will do! It's... a lot less funny 😂 I took a slightly different approach, hahaha... but the essence of the clap back is very aligned!

[KT Herr @kt_herr]

@marthasilano @versedailypoems Ha!! I have also written a long-simmering rebuttal of this poem... it's forthcoming in the next issue of @foglifterpress... it's a real vibe these days I guess 😂 🪿

[KT Herr @kt_herr]

@havehadhavehad Oh man... my chickens didn't get a content warning. Please accept my apologies for this egregious oversight.

@ianwilliamspoet @alyssekathleen 🥳🐠👰‍♀️

@mag_gabbert But in retrospect it was absolutely the right thing to do & maybe the next time I listen to my gut & give myself what I need it won't be quite so rough... I hope...

[KT Herr @kt_herr]

@mag_gabbert Did this for 2 years when I started my PhD. I needed to step back & consider what my work was trying to do. & find ways to rest! Got back to it this past year & for 2023 I'm at 7 acceptances out of 33 subs, still waiting to hear back from 7. I'll take those numbers!?

[KT Herr @kt_herr]

@mag_gabbert I definitely also wallowed in self-accusations of laziness & a terror I would never publish again & fury that I wasn't able to adjust faster to living in a new city/taking a full load of coursework/fulfilling my fellowship duties/moving in with my partner & their kid/etc etc...
