If you see this, post a concert photo you took. Grace Kelly saxing and singing and goosebumping at Musikfest in Bethlehem, PA, August 10, 2025.
In an outdoor night stage, American jazz musician and composer Grace Kelly power-sings before grabbing her alto sax and soloing and leading her bass-keys-drums band and the crowd into ecstatic funk in Bethlehem, PA, August 10, 2025.

I like how the @somewordslit.bsky.social profile pic only shows some of the words.
White sans serif text “Some Words” in title case reduced with don’t-give-a-sock abandon by circular profile pic frame to “ne Worc”. Ne indeed.

NEUROCABIN now on the alphabetical shelf at Brickbat Books in Philly 🙏 Brickbat Books 709 South 4th Street (between Bainbridge & Monroe Sts) Philadelphia, PA 19147
Slapped together collage, top left: winter photo of Brickbat Books from across the street showing ground floor of white brick building in Philly's Queen Village, the book-packed window slightly blocked by cars (I should have crossed the street but the snowbanks won) and shadowed by a black awning below sunny bay windows, top right: Neurocabin 6.5 x 9" poetry book displayed on a shelf briefly for this pic before moving down to its shelf (please refer to this account's 18Jan26 image for cover alt text...), bottom right: Neurocabin vertical and alphabetically filed on the lowest poetry shelf, floor level, which it good for some and not for others, Stuckel wedged between Strong and Surowiecki, bottom left: map of Brickbat Books location (for directions, enter this post's address into your favorite map app), center: holding the room together, a postage-stamp pen-and-ink cartoon stolen from Brickbat's website of a person leaning back, eyes closed, mouth bellowing in separate comic clouds "Brick" and "bat", though possibly there is no yell but rather a swung-out uvula tattooed "Brick" and "bat". Your call.

Neurocabin (Spuyten Duyvil, Dec. 2025) is my debut poetry collection. I used the words I could remember and had to make a few up. It's on Bookshop-dot-org and other sites along with some blurbs: bookshop.org/p/books/neur...
The cover of the poetry book Neurocabin. You are in an industrial studio. The studio is dark and cold with heavy shadows, but also clean and promising. The studio has cement walls and a high ceiling with thick painted piping. You are facing the corner. In the corner stands a tall sculpture made from invasive bittersweet vines. The curvy, woody vines have been woven into an expanding, outreaching pillar. Charlie Baker of Baker Workshop (NY) made the sculpture and took the photo. He has generously allowed us to use the image. Two-thirds of the way down the cover is a dark, semi-opaque rectangle pushed against the right margin. In the rectangle in a bold sans-serif font is typed the poetry book's title, Neurocabin, and centered below it, the author's name, Brett Stuckel.

No Kings march in Bethlehem, PA, filling blocks to the horizon.
Photo of No Kings march in Bethlehem, PA. A crowd of people with costumes and signs march toward us. They fill the wide road, heading toward the downtown. The oncoming crowd stretches many blocks west to the horizon.

Ah yes, glad to be back in the conditioned air of Hotel Blue Sky.
A room in Mumbai's Hotel Blue Sky in 2008 overflowing with two backpackers' dirty everything on beds and laundry lines between the pink walls, wired windows, marble floor, and broken TV. An image of the hotel's blue neon sign is pasted to hide the tabletop of the tiny table.
