Friends! My second poetry collection is now on pre-sale & is due out end of September from @finishinglinepress.bsky.social! They are a wild ride, the poems, & include a few prize-nominated pieces (including the one attached). Thank you to Jessica Jones & Ankit Raj Ojha for the generous blurbs.

Poets, if you’re not already working with Grace & her awesome editors @inkinthirds.bsky.social, you need to be: ink, poetry, wildflower seeds, & brilliant human touches in an era that needs all of these things. ✌🏼🌻

If you’ve not read Patrick Radden Keefe, start with the Sackler/opioid book, then the Snakehead/immigration book, then Say Nothing. And THEN watch the Hulu Series. More & more, short series prove a better medium to adapt books than do movies. (Say Nothing: 2019 Orwell Prize for Political Writing)
