Hi all, I’m looking for one more ecosonnet—-anything that you’d recommend, especially that engages natural or green infrastructures (wetlands, floodplains, habitats, reefs, dunes, urban gardens, etc). Experimental/non-trad sonnets welcomed!

I feel like someone was working on an article in the last couple years on the reemergence of shape poetry. All I’m finding are articles on concrete poetry that emphasize the conceptual tradition. Does this ring any bells? #poetryscholars #poetics

Friends: I need help with accessing a PDF of this article. Our library doesn’t have access. Could anyone send this to me? Keating, K. “A tight, mesmerizing chain of echoes”: the pantoum in Irish poetry. Irish Studies Review, 28: 1 (2020), 1–19. #poetics

Look at this gorgeous Løvig desk Jason got me for my birthday! I can finally retire the Target desk I bought secondhand in grad school :)

New year, new poems! Thanks to The Laurel Review for publishing these. They are meditation poems full of birds and bugs. 🐞

Newest favorite tree along my new walk in the new neighborhood.
Huge multitrunked tree along an asphalt walking path in an urban park with upspreading crown with maybe a quarter of its leaves remaining, mostly yellow, and lots of yellow and red leaves on the ground, with brick rowhouses in the distant background.
