I’ve been reading my way down strange paths in Ohio and East Texas, thanks to David Baker and Aza Pace —these books are such beauties. And such a pleasure to meet both poets in person last month! @davidbakerpoet.bsky.social

Come on, spring, we can use your presence these days—the leaves, the flowers, returning birds. These crocus are the first to come up in my front yard, under a dogwood; the snowdrops are on the hillside a quarter mile away, the abandoned house of Minnie Hite Moody, local author, who died in 1993.

My new one, "The Bay," in today's New Yorker online, and in the print edition later this week. A quiet small elegy. I hope its music touches you.

Recent US presidents to invite a poet to read a poem at the inauguration. Biden. Obama. Clinton. Carter. Kennedy. Just sayin'.

Sat down at 6:30 to watch NBC news, and instead they were airing Trump and part of his live "speech" and then some signing of exec. orders. More childish, shameful, bitter, psychotic, nonsensical, clueless, dangerous than you can imagine. What a cascade of disasters and ruin and violence...

Have trump and his billionaires brought help to LA? Firefighters from Canada have come down to help. Any questions?

Went out to shovel but couldn’t. Covid. So took a few pics of some of my backyard neighbors. Tracks of deer, rabbit, bird, cat, dog, and deer-scuff.

“Why the erotic matters so much. Not as / pleasure but a way to get to something darker.” This has haunted me all week.

Kiss the ground! Just returned the signed contract for new book of poems! “I Walked to the Water” from W.W Norton, early 2026! Thank you to Jill Bialosky. I’d love to do readings, interviews, etc. Just ask. Who wants to go out tonight and celebrate? I do!

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.
