“Don’t pine for youth’s homesteads. / Instead write a poem about a poem / about protecting the explosions / of innocence that move, unsteady / as a slicked lamb, across the earth.” From “How to Maintain Eye Contact,” a new original poem by @jordanhamel.bsky.social. ➡️ buff.ly/JFefcMo

Been a minute since I’ve been on here but it looks like the place to be. Anyway, by way of reintroduction, here’s a poem. @poetrydaily.bsky.social were kind enough to republish this as their poem of the day on November 5th. Luckily there wasn’t anything else going on that day. Enjoy

Truly a dream come true to appear in Poetry Magazine, especially in the gorgeous 'Lineage & Influence' issue alongside so many of my heroes. Thanks to Diane Seuss for making me hate sonnets less and inspiring this poem. I hope I did you justice. www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

Suppose I should post something. Here's an essay I wrote. It's about death, fear, and the men I love, like Leonard. Thanks to @pastemagazine.bsky.social and @yogurttowne.bsky.social for giving it space. www.pastemagazine.com/music/leonar...
