It’s the end of 2023 and I’m beginning the new year by teaching an Intro to Poetry class for @litcleveland. I would love to hear what your favorite poems and/or collections were from this year to help me add contemporary poets to my syllabus. Thanks for any recommendations!💚

Trying to leave, but sad because so many of my favorite Tweeters are not on Zuck’s area. And I can’t get on Blue still. Soooo. I guess soon, I’ll just give up?

Really excited to have my short story, “Ears,” originally in Alaska Quarterly Review, reprinted in the upcoming The Best Mystery Stories Of The Year, edited by Amor Towles. I definitely didn’t expect this honor. You can find it Sept. 19th. Thanks @TheMysterious and @AQReview

1. You’ll be given a set of rules to follow that everyone will promptly ignore. 2. No one is allowed to leave the building until a solution has been reached. 3. You will be forced to look at disturbing physical evidence. mcsweeneys.net/articles/jury…

Emanuel is an aspiring luthier (string instrument maker) from Atlanta who was accepted to attend the Chicago School of Violin Making. Unfortunately, the GoFundMe for his tuition has gotten basically no traction. Can we help him out? gofundme.com/f/help-emanuel-…

3/4 This is where I humbly beg for your help: If you are a poet: I’m doing a zoom poetry lecture/class on June 10th as a fundraiser directly from Ukraine for Refugees & writers. Attend? If you are not a poet: consider simply donating? whatever you can
