@MemoryLaneTime You mean like this typewriter? The one that got me started on this writing journey in the first place?

Last week while on vacation, I shared a short IG reel offering my thoughts on #seaglass and life - and it quickly rang up 3000 views within the first 15 minutes! (and it's still growing)

@vickyweberbooks Last year, some idiot lamented that my A UNIVERSE OF RAINBOWS (Eerdmans BYR, 2025) was "just what the word needs, more gay propaganda" - yet it's a creative NF poetry antho about literal RAINBOWS. The self-righteous don't need facts, they have their feelings to guide them. smh

What an amazing day at Boscawen (NH) Elementary School!
I shared several of my books like FLASHLIGHT NIGHT, DON’T ASK A DINOSAUR, & A UNIVERSE OF RAINBOWS, talking about the creative process, the importance of revision, & the fantastic illustrators!

@gregizzo1 @SketchesbyBoze I doubt I'd have the career I have, were it not for structured poetic forms like sonnets!

Had a great time visiting Henry W. Moore school in Candia, NH last week! I shared my books DON’T ASK A DINOSAUR and A UNIVERSE OF RAINBOWS with students during the day, then presented FLASHLIGHT NIGHT that evening during their literacy night!

@coupz4242 @nicksortor TDS is Trump's god-like standing among his supporters who feel he so utterly important and omnipotent that we need to change legislation in order to put his name on our currency. I can't think of a single conservative during the Reagan years who would've been behind this.

[Matt Forrest Esenwine @MattForrestVW]

@colleencoble Agreed. The way I figure, if someone is going to make the automatic assumption that I used AI simply because I used em dashes (and I write a lot of poetry!), then I'm probably not going to want to work with them, anyway.

[Matt Forrest Esenwine @MattForrestVW]

@Tribuno_Galo @SqSehrish Not sure how anyone can get any other answer - and AI certainly isn't struggling lol

@vickyweberbooks Once he learns how to write, he'll have to eat his words.

@tanpukunokami There was a time when every supermarket deli would have this in their case. Tasty - but not healthy.
