Delighted to have a poem sharing the pages of the latest @Colorado_Review with so many incredible poets/ writers/ heroes. Thanks so much to the eds for including my little ode/ anti-ode about a place I love & miss (filled with people I love & miss) dearly.

“storms can’t be managed/ like people”

Wow. These stunning poems by @elinorann_poet!💙

In case you've ever wondered what it's like to be in class with me, my peak moment in Zoom poetry workshop this fall--

Me: [types "Is loneliness a kind of emptiness?" into the chat]

My professor, reading the chat: "Jess wants to know if loneliness is a kind of emptiness?"

[Jess @xAdakia]

Thinking mostly, at the moment, about Eros vs. Dionysus:

(from Walter Otto's /Dionysus: Myth and Cult/)

[Pine State Publicity @PineStatePub]

brilliant @xAdakia wrote the most gorgeous review of @jessicalgjacobs unalone for the latest issue of @waxwingmag. A thrill to see great poets <3 great poets.

[Jess @xAdakia]

No words for how unbelievably HYPED I am to see OUR HANDS HOLD VIOLENCE out in the world.

Here are two favorite poems from Kieron's stunning chapbook, LOVE LOCKS, published by @QuarterlyWest:

"show me a hunger / worth wearing"
