For David Lynch (From “Wonder & Wreckage: New & Selected Poems”)

David Lynch inspired my poetry and fiction, entertained and disturbed me in equal measure, and was the textbook definition of an auteur. His loss is immeasurable.

Megan and I have heard from quite a few poets that they need a little more time, so we’ve extended the deadline for the Stevie Nicks poetry anthology until Feb. 12. Send us those poems, you wild hearts! 🔮🕊️🎩 madvillepublishing.com/submission/

The “Sugarcane” documentary is devastating to watch. The filmmakers’ decision to frame the horrifying discoveries with long silences and wide vistas of British Columbia is beautiful and chilling. You won’t be able to stop thinking about it.

Many thanks to South Carolina Review for publishing “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” in the new Fall 2024 issue. I’m out of the submission loop now, so if this is the last one then I’ve gone out on a high note and with a fantastic journal. ❤️ #poetry

I'm about to embark on a new adventure as the editor of LGBTQ+ news outlet Georgia Voice. The next four years are going to be challenging for the community, so providing factual news will be vital.

Went to a late night screening of “Wicked,” which I enjoyed more than I thought I would despite its ridiculous three-hour runtime.

My friend, my friend, I was born doing reference work in sin, and born confessing it. This is what poems are: with mercy for the greedy, they are the tongue’s wrangle, the world's pottage, the rat's star. — Anne Sexton

“Wonder & Wreckage: New & Selected Poems” is out now. Using the language and imagery of cinema, this director’s cut is framed by the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and '90s using pop culture and iconic movies to propel a narrative of love and loss.

Sad to hear Dorothy Allison has passed away. When I edited my AIDS-benefit cookbook FOOD FOR LIFE in the mid-90s, I asked her for her Red Velvet Cake recipe (if you've read TRASH you'll remember). She gave me this, with her typical brilliance (especially those final warnings!). RIP.
