I can admire the constant and gradual change of languages and still dislike the phrase “face card.” I contain multitudes.

What better way to wind down the week than with an episode of THE SLOW DOWN, featuring Acre poet @mattminicucci.bsky.social whose work host @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social says "captures the pain of longing...to be somewhere, or with someone, when you can’t be"? 🎉🖊️ www.slowdownshow.org/episode/2025...

AI stole basically everything I ever published along with pretty much every other writer so, no, I don’t think it’s cool or interesting or useful & now I don’t trust you because you think it’s “neat.” It’s just theft.

Flashback Friday! @mattminicucci.bsky.social "has created, in extraordinary #poems of counterpoint, elegy, and autobiography, a dualism (a mirroring, a conjunction, a metronomic pairing) not binary so much as inclusively generative and devastating." (Kathy Fagan) press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...
Matthew Minicucci's poetry collection, DUAL (blue cover with two hands and knives), rests beside a dramatic mask.

All these power-hungry assholes obsessed with the Roman Empire love to gloss over the fact that it, y’know, famously ended

The lingering question of what to do with a journal that once took your work that’s now rejected you a dozen times in a row. Is it over? Was it me and not you? You and not me? Are you different? Am I different? Are those stars I see?

A quick positive note: I’ll be heading to Washington State for all of June to be in residency at the Willapa Bay AiR AND received a grant to work on a new book project at the Beinecke Library at Yale later in the summer. Hope to see many of you during my travels!
