@BeckyLTuch At the very very beginning of a brand-new project. Like, I just finished something big & now I have no idea what's next, so I'm just going to write as much as I can & see what takes shape!

"single-handedly--?"

[Academy of American Poets @POETSorg]

My darling, the wind falls in like stones
from the whitehearted water and when we touch
we enter touch entirely. No one’s alone.
Men kill for this, or for as much.

—Anne Sexton, born #OTD in 1928

“Morning in the sawtooth yard, & I’m slipping
on grass wet with dog piss & last night’s beer,

April azaleas blooming sickly, a bush full of stillborns
stinging anyone who looks…”

“Those who never pick up a book of poetry may be indifferent or dismissive, they may mock the very idea of poetry, but they can’t really be said to dislike poetry, much less have a purified, a perfected, contempt for something they do not encounter.” https://t.co/Jj4azUYdmi

Thimble Literary Magazine is an online lit mag, featuring art, poetry, and short prose. They publish issues quarterly. “At Thimble Literary Magazine, we believe armor can be found in the oddest of places: whether that’s facing a hard truth head-on or reframing it so you can better understand it. We believe the stories we tell ourselves to be the most powerful protection for our edges.” You can read all their past issues to see the type of work they like to publish on their website.

i'll never forget kaveh akbar's workshop at the @jacarpress gathering of poets back in 2019 when he quoted this to us & subsequently changed the trajectory of my writing life

“The technique of art is to make objects ‘unfamiliar,’ to make forms difficult in order to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged.”
--Viktor Shklovsky
