Nostalgia, teen angst, & laser tag along a now lost stretch of coastal highway. Do yourself a favor. Take a break from the insanity of our times & get lost in Lenny Owens’s “Laser Challenge.” The retro vibe of the Y2KQ journal also makes for an awesome reading experience www.y2kq.com/works/laser-...

Just wanted to share what looks to be a pretty fantastic collection from @frazzledlit.bsky.social. I haven’t published with them so this isn’t a self-plug, etc., but they do an amazing job putting out thoughtful, well-written, and engaging work and do a ton of good for the broader community.

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.

Publishing here was a wonderful experience. The editor and staff are so dedicated, and they include optional recordings alongside the text, which adds such a nice touch to things. Please consider submitting work when they reopen for submissions on Sept. 1st!

Happy to have “Morning” in the most recent issue of The Indianapolis Review. This poem follows an early summer morning performing PT exercises as part of a treatment and maintenance program for chronic health issues. theindianapolisreview.com/morning/

Preview of the opening of "Morning."

Greet the sun with applied heat.

Arch your back, shifting slowly,

Its form mirrors the rhythmic openness of the prescribed stretches and diaphragmatic breathing, which follow a general pattern but have their own individual structures.

It’s a wonderful, meditative collection on the often-blurred spaces of existence and their transformative potential, very on point for our strange and ever-shifting world.

I have a poem on the exhausting, desperate, and often disorienting nights of early parenthood in La Rotonde Review’s most recent anthology: Dissolution: Poems on the Edge of Disappearance (a.co/d/05N7wd42).

God bless editors that let you know when you just missed publishing something with them, especially when they provide additional context and advice. Everyone is busy, I know, so this often isn’t possible, but it means so much in an industry that can really beat you down at times.

Does anyone know of any lit agents who accept query letters via posts on Bluesky? I'm always on a baseball sideline these days. No computer, but yes phone. Maybe some agents you can just call? Maybe text-a-query? Submit via weather app or solitaire? Send 'em a really long voice note?

1. A lot of people are focused on the apparent contradiction/absurdity of Trump blockading the Strait if he wants to open it. And yes, that is a real issue. But the even more immediate concern is what the U.S. Navy must do to actually put this plan into effect.
