October, I’m dragging the dog away from perfect birds
lifeless on the pavement.

What a gift to share that Lit Hub has featured my @Image_Journal essay on attention, the mystery of poems & silos, and the responsibility of working to attune ourselves to wonder, even and especially when the world is hard—
It's one I'm always working at. Keep Looking:

[Literary Hub @lithub]

“I hope I can look long and hard enough to let the mess and the mystery break my heart.” @mmccullybrown on the power of poetry to sustain our spirits.

One major reason I like to write poetry is that I can be insane there. In fact, it's better if I'm insane

[Molly McCully Brown @mmccullybrown]

“…things / that can’t move / learn to see…”

October, again, and the world is hard, and drenched in sunshine. Thinking of you today, LG. Still learning from you; still looking for you everywhere.

I really love Jack Gilbert's poems for their quietness. I wish there could be more future Jack Gilbert poems.

It’s the 4 month birthday of my collection ATTACHMENTS! Making eye contact, starting to laugh! Thx to everyone who’s read, reviewed, chatted on podcasts, and particularly @huahsu who extended the kind of thoughtfulness a writer dreams of in @NewYorker

I wrote another book ✨It’s about climate grief, the failures of language during our age of climate catastrophe, and the art of memorial. Part of @transitbooks UNDELIVERED LECTURE SERIES, it’s out in Feb 2025. Preorder it pls?

@lucyalford This anthology is full of stunners that fit the bill. And a lot of @edgarjameskunz 's poems treat work and labor really beautifully:

If you are in a writing program and you're starting classes this week please remember you are all in it for a shared purpose and the clearest line of communication is perceived love. Assume the best of intentions amongst your peers.

We write today with extraordinary good news: since our Feb 8 announcement, we've seen an overwhelming show of support. We heard from friends we knew about, but also from friends we didn’t know we had. As a result, we’re not suspending operations after all. Read more on our site.

[Lucas Mann @LucasWMann]

Hey ATTACHMENTS got a starred review from the good people at @KirkusReviews and now that review is up! Very grateful for this one!

My essay in @TIMEIdeas talks about how my OCD first got tangled up in America's gun violence problem in the 80s, and why neither the OCD nor our nation's obsession with guns has relented in the decades since.

One way or another, we're in this together.

I am so, so excited for these essays to reach the world!

[Lucas Mann @LucasWMann]

Shamelessly stealing this from IG because @mmccullybrown is one of my favorite writers and people, and to be read like this by her is really wonderful
