Today I am debuting my little blog, The World on E! The first post is detailing why I would start a blog, fun stories behind me trying to do a blog before, and my intense personality when it comes down to creative work. I talk about Timothee Chalamet bc obviously. Follow? :) theworldone.substack.com

Today is scary. My first poem has officially been published to Rust & Moth! It’s been such a weird and long road to get here but I’m a published writer (of sorts) now. I don’t know what to do now but be hopeful that you enjoy it. Thanks. Bless.

Screenshot of a web page. The words are a poem by Edith Krone titled “at work, the new guy asks”

“you prefer she, right?
i want to say that it is not really a preference,
it just is, my life is not made up of preferences
but if it was, i would simply prefer to not be here.
i would prefer a cliffside, a Van Gogh landscape,
a menagerie of colors so bright that my eyes could
not focus, but mostly, i prefer to not see. if forced to,
id prefer to see the world through my eyes and through my eyes
i am six feet of stardust and Tennessee sunshine.
we heard how in Van Gogh's Starry Night, you could tell
the time through the stars but around here we mostly guess.
in the night humidity, we tell time by the cricket's chirp
and distant city lights--Marlboro smoke rising in place of us.”

I was given some flowers after a reading I did last night!

The semester starts tomorrow. I’ll update this thread with teachings and discussions about each book as we discuss them throughout the semester! I’m missing a few that are in transit or on pre-order but about 18 books this semester for two classes and then a workshop that only has one. #booksky

Just had a conversation about poetry so enlightening that I feel like I got beat up continuously for 45 years. But hey! I give my first live poetry reading in years next week!

Spending Sunday walking to a bookstore and sitting on a bench memorial, delayed my TBR by another week.
