Part of my poem in Queer Poem-a-Day 💕 from DEAR DEAR newly out @triohousepress.org

Salt dune :: Last nude

Tennessee Williams in Provincetown

He posed on a dune in the nude.

Everything calibrated as a dancer, tail braced against the wind's light banter and unspooled in a dune's loops, valleys where longing pools: author, playwright, plover, tern.

Plover minus the "p" is lover. Ptown a sand globe where lovers rove, piping plovers under human pressure, rarified salt air, promises that last-

What a crescendoing sonnet of a list!! 😍🎶💖 For #smallPoemSunday I give you @joustingsnail.bsky.social's (Reuben Gelley Newman) Give from his 🔥❤️‍🔥🔥 DEAR DEAR, forthcoming (!!!!!) @triohousepress.org. Go get your pre-order in! 📚💙 @tomsnarsky.bsky.social

Dear Dear on a multicolored and striped placemat (partially out of frame). Dear Dear is printed in black and white capital letters of different sizes and fills more than the entire upper half of the cover, the author's name, also black and white capitalized letters, the rest. A string instrument's f-hole in black and cut into red wood-texturing constitutes the background.

Give
Jasper Johns, Untitled, Encaustic on linen, 1996

Give me a ma- in the shape of a bird.
Give me a thousand amoebas, pulsing.
Give me blue. Give me a blood-stained postcard.
Give me backwards. Give me everything false.
Give me a flock of dimes, a school of pennies.
Give me two boys made of circles & squares
Kissing. Let it never come to an end.

Let it abstract. Let it grow everywhere.
Let it circle & circle & circle.
Let it speck the ramshackle fire escape.
Let it prick, spackle, grow tense & fickle.
Let it past tense & paper clip & gape.
Let it want, let it let, let let unplanned
Kissing. Let it never come to an end.

Just remember, whatever stats ALA drops, the reality is even worse. A not insignificant number of schools don't report to ALA, and ALA doesn't have the staff in OIF to go out and track down this information. This looks bad, but it's likely worse. www.ala.org/news/2026/04...

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

So delighted to have the closing poem from DEAR DEAR in this brilliant journal alongside friends with stunning web design. Except below after Bach's MUSICAL OFFERING and Oliveros's concept of deep listening

[minor triad

leaping down a drastic seventh curving chromatic descent

]

courtly listening velvet viol and prettified flute the way classical sound becomes deep in terms of age in slippage of culture the chapel hall the riddle of how to play the fugue

Let the King's fortunes grow with the lengthening notes

4. Or so live

Like you listen deeply to whatever and however I'm all in favor of ambience say what does deep listening at this point I'm just riffing is a kind of improv even mean listening a riff on the river Pauline I'm trying to walk with the song into a new place
