Sorry for the fuzzy photo but it was sure fun to hang with George Saunders, Prof Julie Schumacher, and 2000 other people last night! Thanks to Saunders for sharing insights and jokes--and for appreciating Minnesota.

Prof and novelist Julie Schumacher looks on as fiction writer George Saunders speaks into a handheld mic and gestures. Both seated on chairs onstage at Northrop.

“Lucy holds most things that make their way to her (homework assignment, detention slip, boyfriend) in a similarly vague fashion—lightly, poised to let them go.” Related hard—for my once-upon-a-teen self, for my teen daughter—to this gem by @melostrom.bsky.social

Help please (for a poet who has lost touch with who is doing what and where): 1. Where should I send experimental and traditional ecopoems? 2. Where should I send an manuscript of them that interrogates our relationship to technology and nature?

The dogs were acting weird today. Bowie locked up & sat down multiple times on morning sniffari. Multiple barking round rovers from dogs up and down the block. Everybody seemed on edge. I blame the moon.

HAD @havehashad.com · 25/04/2026

with apologies to people who sleep in / are no the west coast / etc... doing a quick little pop-up call this morning. no theme, no max word count, but shorter tends to be better (as does "bolder," whatever that means) open for 50 submissions -Aaron havehashad.submittable.com/submit/35490...

Haven't done a spontaneous call in a minute... so let's do one!

No word count limit, no theme (though shorter, and "bolder" tends to most get my attention during these calls).

Open to any/all genre! Would love to see a comic! I love stuff that you aren't even sure what genre it is.

If you're reading this, you probably have a pretty good idea of what I/HAD like, but some stuff that jumps to my mind:

long single sentence pieces, single paragraph blocks of texts (prose poems, I guess you could just say), longass lists, crazy long titles (used to be more common on HAD, we've gotten away from them a bit, would be fun to see some more again), funny stuff that makes me laugh, stuff that makes me laugh and then punches me in my emotions, sexy stuff that makes me blush, stuff that makes me go "huh??", stuff I'm not sure I "get" but that gets inside my brain...

Only open for 50 submissions. (Depending how fast I get through them, maybe I'll do another call later today or tomorrow or Monday or something...)
